Determination of Fire Conditions Supporting Room Flashover
This is the first annual report of a continuous program to investigate fire behavior in rooms during the ignition-to-flashover period. The objectives of the program are to quantitatively evaluate time histories of temperatures, gas composition, and heat flux in ignited rooms, and to determine the conditions necessary for the occurrence of flashover. The approach being used is to study a series of room fires involving contents typical of actual occupancies, develop simple, reproducible fuel arrays which duplicate the essential features of these fires, and then establish procedures for small scale simulations of room fires using the simplified fuel arrays. Experiments at the smallest feasible scale will then be used to evaluate effects of such parameters as room size, ceiling height, location and size of ventilation openings, combustibility of wall and ceiling covering, and insulative quality of wall and ceiling material. This report contains the results of the studies of full scale room fires using both real and simplified fuel arrays. (Author)
