FIRE IN A MODEL CORRIDOR WITH A SIMULATED COMBUSTIBLE CEILING PART II - EFFECTS OF VENTILATION AND ADDITION OF OBSTRUCTIONS AT THE EXIT

Atallah, S., 1966. FIRE IN A MODEL CORRIDOR WITH A SIMULATED COMBUSTIBLE CEILING PART II - EFFECTS OF VENTILATION AND ADDITION OF OBSTRUCTIONS AT THE EXIT. Fire Research Notes 621


ABSTRACT

The effects of altering the ventilation of a long corridor 30 cm wide with a primary town gas fire at one end and the effects of the addition of obstructions at the exit on thermal radiation falling on the floor were investigated. The presence of a combustible ceiling was simulated by town gas injection through a porous burner on the ceiling. Several conclusions were reached which should apply qualitatively to fires in large scale corridors.
