Thomas, P.H., Simms, D.L. and Theobald, C.R., 1959. THE INTERPRETATION OF SOME EXPERIMENTAL DATA ON THE IGNITION OF WOOD. Fire Research Notes 411


ABSTRACT

The results of some experiments by R.E. Prince(1) on the ignition of wood in an oven are shown to be more satisfactorily correlated by assuming that wood ignites when its surface reaches a certain fixed temperature than by assuming that ignition is primarily determined by exothermic self-heating.
