Experimental study on flame height and heat release rate estimation of diesel-wetted wood powder fire
Tong Xu,Peng-Fei Lei +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , the temperature profile and flame height variation of diesel-wetted wood powder fire were investigated and the heat release rate was estimated using axial temperature profile based on McCaffrey's model.

Assessment of Cooling Water and Spacing Sensitivities for Fire Propagation Prevention in Cylindrical Fuel Tank Farms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of different parameters such as fuel type, wind effect and spacing between tanks on fire propagation in hydrocarbon storage tanks and investigated the cooling water application rate and its variation with the above parameters on prevention of fire propagation.

An experimental study on upward flame spread over corrugated cardboard used in underground logistic transportation: Influence of grain orientation and thickness
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of grain orientation and sample thickness on the fire spread behavior of corrugated cardboard fire spread in underground logistic transportation and warehousing were investigated. But, the results were limited to three grain orientations: along grain, across grain, and across grain.

An experimental study on burning characteristics and temperature distribution of inert porous sand bed soaked by leaked combustible liquid
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the burning characteristics and temperature distribution of inert porous sand bed soaked by leaked combustible liquid and found that the burning process can be divided into four stages, among which stage II and stage III account for a large proportion of burning duration.

An Introduction to Fire Dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the physical chemistry of combustion in fire and discuss the physical properties of fire and its application in a wide range of applications in fire science and combustion.
Journal Article
The size of flames from natural fires
TL;DR: In this article, the entrainment of air into a turbulent flame was investigated in terms of both a dimensional analysis and the entrainedness of air to the turbulent flame, and the effects of wind on such flames were also reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating large pool fire burning rates
TL;DR: Data for estimating the burning rate and heat output of large pool fires (diameter ≳ 0.2 m) are compiled and computational equations presented and a large scatter is noted.
