Empirical Model of flame heat feedback for simulation of cone calorimetry

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized flame model was developed for cone calorimeter tests for several polymers to develop a generalized heat feedback model, and the flame heat fluxes were partitioned into radiative and convective components based on an analysis of the materials' radiative fractions.

An experimental and numerical study of thermal and chemical structure of downward flame spread over PMMA surface in still air

TL;DR: In this article, a coupled model of heat and mass transfer involving two-dimensional elliptic conservation equations both for gas phase and solid fuel has been used with the fuel surface approximation of the samples burnout.

Numerical study of horizontal flame spread over PMMA surface in still air

TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled model of heat and mass transfer describing the feedback between gas-phase flame and solid fuel has been defined by non-stationary two-dimensional elliptic equations applied both for gas phase and liquid fuel.

Experimental Analysis of Critical Acceleration Condition for Two-Sided Upward Flame Spread Over Inclined Thin Fuel Surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the two-sided upward flame behaviors over inclined surfaces by performing experiments using 0.255mm thick, 100 cm tall and 5 cm wide cotton sample sheets with various inclination angles varying 0° to 90° from the horizontal.

Polymer combustion and flammability—Role of the condensed phase∘

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of polymer characteristics on combustion and flammability are not nearly as well understood as those in the gas phase, and a nonhalogenated char-forming flame-retardant approach is suggested to improve the fire performance of polymers.

Characterization of flame spread over PMMA using holographic interferometry sample orientation effects

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured temperature distributions within the PMMA sample in the vicinity of the leading edge of the flame front using holographic interferometry and found that the heat flow vector patterns within the sample showed the dominant heat transfer path from the gas phase into the unburnt fuel ahead of the vaporization point.
