Simms, D.L., Hinkley, P.L. and Bisset, A.M., 1959. ROOF VENTING OF BURNING ENCLOSURES PART II. THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MODEL AND SOME FLOW PATTERNS OBTAINED WITH IT. Fire Research Notes 391


ABSTRACT

The construction of a small scale model suitable for studying the flow of heat from a convective source in a building is described. Experiments show that the conduction loss has been made small enough for it not to affect the scaling laws derived from consideration of natural convection.
