The rates of heat release and smoke development from a fire in a typical prison cell configuration were examined under four doorway ventilation conditions. Peak heat release rates varied from about 4500 kW for a 3.34 m(2) doorway opening down to 340 kW for
Measurments of the vertical component of velocity in buoyant diffusion flames from extended sources by both cross-correlation and pressure proble techniques incorporating time-average signal processing appear to overestimate the transverse size of these
A series of full-scale tests were conducted to evaluate smoke movement through a suspended ceiling and into an interstitial space of a hospital type facility. A test facility specifically constructed for this project is described. The test series consisted
