Fire Induced Gas Flow in an Enclosure

Pages 165-175 | Received 20 Feb 1975, Published online: 15 May 2007
 

Abstract

The gas flow induced by a small fire in a large room is considered. The fire plume acts as a pump and the window opening as a throttle. Generalizations of Kawagoe's expressions for the window air flow and height of the neutral plane are developed and used to rationalize previously unexplained features of Gross and Robertson's enclosure fire data.
