FIRE SPREAD IN WOODEN CRIBS PART II HEAT TRANSFER EXPERIMENTS IN STILL AIR

Thomas, P.H., Simms, D.L. and Wraight, H.G., 1965. FIRE SPREAD IN WOODEN CRIBS PART II HEAT TRANSFER EXPERIMENTS IN STILL AIR. Fire Research Notes 599


ABSTRACT

The assumption that fire spread in cribs is the result primarily of the radiation transmitted forward from the burning zone is confirmed by experimental data which show a correlation between heat transfer rates in the burning zone and the rate of spread. The report also discusses some other aspects of crib behaviour such as the effect of stick size and bulk density.
