Using Sensor Signals to Analyze Fires

Published

Author(s)

William D. Davis

Abstract

An algorithm is developed that predicts the concentration of smoke and gases such as carbon monoxide in the ceiling jet produced by an axisymmetric fire. A sensor-driven fire model is described and is used to predict the fire hazards in a two-level townhouse containing a flashover fire.
