Release and dispersion of vegetation and peat fire emissions

Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Smoke-haze episodes caused by vegetation and peat fires affect parts of Indonesia every year with significant impacts on human health and climate. Particularly fires in degenerated peat areas release huge amounts of trace gases and particles into the atmo...

Estimation of Heat Release in Fire Compartment

This paper presents the model to estimate heat release in fire compartment about four fuels, Douglas fir considering char formation and moisture content, methanol, methane and propane, with equivalence ratio Q on the basis of previous work and discusses about the difference of the combustion efficiency of them. As the result, calculated heat release of Douglas fir, methane and propane shows rel...

Heat release of polymer composites in fire

The relationship between heat release rate and other fire reaction properties of fibre reinforced polymer composite materials is investigated. The heat release rate and fire reaction properties of thermoset matrix composites reinforced with combustible fibres (aramid, extended-chain polyethylene) or non-combustible fibres (glass, carbon) were determined over a range of heat flux levels using th...

Bayesian parameter estimation of convective heat transfer coefficients of a roof-mounted radiant barrier system

This paper deals with the application of Bayesian methods to the estimation of two convective heat transfer coefficients of a roof-mounted radiant barrier system (RBS). As part of an empirical validation of the thermal model of the roofing complex, a parametric sensitivity analysis highlighted the importance of convective coefficients in the thermal behavior of a roofing complex. A parameter es...
