Extinction of Inhibited, Stretched and Diluted Counterflowing Flames

March 15, 1993
Author(s)
M H. Yang, I K. Puri, Anthony Hamins
It has been shown that a criteria for flame extinction can be described by the Damkohler Number which is the ratio of a characteristic flow or diffusion time to a characteristic chemical reaction time. As the Damkohler Number is reduced the fuel burning

Production Mechanisms for Carbon Monoxide in Enclosure Fires

March 15, 1993
Author(s)
William M. Pitts, Nelson P. Bryner, Erik L. Johnsson
Roughly two thirds of all deaths resulting from enclosure fires can be attributed to the presence of carbon monoxide (CO), which is known to be the dominant toxicant in fire deaths. The mechanisms responsible for the generation of high concentrations of CO

Simultaneous Optical Measurement of Soot Volume Fraction and Temperature

March 15, 1993
Author(s)
M. Y. Choi, Anthony Hamins, Takashi Kashiwagi
Radiative heat transfer processes in large fires govern the burning rate, the flame spread rate and the potential for fire hazards. These processes are controlled by the detailed structure of the fire, primarily the temperature and soot distributions. In
