Abstract
Recent experimental and modeling efforts designed to characterize the formation of carbon monoxide (CO) in enclosure fires which were funded by or performed at the Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are summarized. The findings are used to assess the conditions for which the Global Equivalence Ratio Concept can be used to predict the generation of CO and other combustion gases by enclosure fires.Proceedings Title
