SOME RADIATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A GAS-FIRED PANEL

Simms, D.L. and Miller, J.E., 1955. SOME RADIATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A GAS-FIRED PANEL. Fire Research Notes 217


ABSTRACT

The measured distribution of intensity from a proprietary type of gas-fired panel has been found to agree closely with the distribution calculated using Lambert's cosine law. Near to the panel convective heating modifies this conclusion and a map of the convection currents is given. The area parallel to the plane of the panel over which the heating is uniform to within 90 per cent is never less than 9 sq. in.
