Numerical Study on Sample Thickness Dependence of Fire Response Properties of Polymeric Materials (Charring and Non-charring) in Standard Cone Calorimeter Test

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of sample thickness on fire response parameters of polymeric materials was investigated for both charring and non-charring polymeric polymers, and it was shown that properties such as peak mass loss rate, time to peak mass losses, average mass loss rates, and time to ignition vary with sample thickness.

A Generalized Pyrolysis Model for Combustible Solids

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized model for simulating pyrolysis, gasification, and burning of a wide range of solid fuels encountered in fires is presented, which can be applied to noncharring and charring solids, composites, intumescent coatings and smolder in porous media.

Some comments on the use of cone calorimeter data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the impact of the principal setup on the performance of the cone calorimeter, including the choice of external heat flux, the peak of heat release rate of sample thickness and thermal feedback from the back of the sample, and the influence on irradiance of the horizontal and vertical distances from the cone heater.

Generalized pyrolysis model for combustible solids

TL;DR: A generalized pyrolysis model that can be used to simulate the gasification of a variety of combustible solids encountered in fires is presented in this paper. But the model is not suitable for the simulation of large-scale fires.

Prediction of the burning rates of non-charring polymers

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of burning of two widely-used charring and intumescing polymers, bisphenol A polycarbonate and polyvinyl chloride, was developed and validated.

Evaluation of optimization schemes and determination of solid fuel properties for CFD fire models using bench-scale pyrolysis tests

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical pyrolysis model is used to simulate the experimental data and the input parameters (i.e., the material properties) are adjusted to provide the best possible agreement between simulations and experiments.
