TLDR
In this article, an analytical expression of the universal mass transfer B-number was derived, which applies to semi-transparent flames with external radiation, and new parameters were defined and illustrated, such as the mass transfer equivalent absorption coefficient, specific radiant heat feedback and radiation factor.About:

Concurrent flame spread over externally heated Nomex under mixed convection flow
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study was performed to investigate the effect of ambient pressure and oxygen concentration on the concurrent/upward flame spread over a fire-resistant fabric (Nomex HT90-40) exposed to two different external heat sources.

Burning dynamics and in-depth flame spread of wood cribs in large compartment fires
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory to couple these processes in-depth and external to a spreading wood crib fire in a compartment is proposed and analogised into the classical "Emmons problem", leading to a definition of a total mass transfer number for a wood crib.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical analysis and predictions of burning in microgravity using a burning emulator
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of ambient pressure and oxygen on burning were analyzed for 29 steady burning flames using a gas burner (BRE) to emulate condensed phase burning of 25mm diameter flat surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pool fire dynamics: Principles, models and recent advances
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the basic fundamentals of pool fire can be found in this paper , including the scale effect, the wind effect, pressure and gravity effects, and multi-pool fire dynamics, with particular focus on recent advances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of immersed conductive objects to enhance the burning rate of hydrocarbon pool fires
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the ability of thermally conductive nonflammable objects to enhance the steady state burning rate of hydrocarbon pool fires with the ultimate goal of designing a burner for faster clean-up of hazardous spills in offshore and other remote environments.

Fundamentals of Fire Phenomena
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the history of fire and its application in the field of fire safety, including a discussion of the role of mass and energy conservation in chemical reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Film Combustion of Liquid Fuel
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined and partially solved the problem of controlling the rate of combustion in large droplets, where the heat transfer and diffusion processes will have removed the chemical reaction zone far enough from the droplet to where it is less sensitive to the effects of the droplets itself.

Flammability of plastics—I. Burning intensity
A. Tewarson,R.F. Pion +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the progress of an experimental study to develop a laboratory-scale test to define the burning intensity of various commercial samples of plastics, including wood, and a plywood sample and six organic liquid samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fire radiation—A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed non-luminous radiation theories and compared them to Hottel's emmissivity charts for typical homogeneous combustion situations and concluded that the presence of luminous soot must be locally supported by chemical heat release in normal fire situations.
