Smoke Filling in a Confined Compartment with Single Ceiling Vent
Abstract A simple analytical model which is suitable to determine the smoke filling time in a confined compartment with single ceiling vent is presented in this paper. In addition to the theoretical analysis, an experimental study is conducted to evaluate the feasibility of the application of the model. The experimental results show that smoke filling time varies with different dimensions of the ceiling vent when the dimension of fire source is relatively small (the diameter of fire source is 0.1 m). However, in the case of a high heat release rate of fire source (the diameter of fire source is no smaller than 0.14 m), the effect of the dimension of the ceiling vent on smoke filling time could be approximately ignored. Zukoski’s ceiling exit model can be used to predict the smoke filling process in confined compartment with single ceiling vent.
