چکیده

A method is presented to calculate the incident radiant heat flux and the temperatures reached on any point of a tank surface when this tank is engulfed in a pool-fire during the fire transitory state (developing phase). 1he method used to calculate the radiant heat flux on the cylinder is based on a three-dimensional formulation and uses the definition of a surface to establish the flame contour (according to a rectangular pool) taking into account the temperature changes with height and time. 1he results are compared to experimental data obtained with large scale pool-fires of hexane and kerosene, and show a good agreement. Finally, some conclusions are derived. ( 1998 Elsevier Science ̧td. All rights reserved.

Measurements of Heat Transfer to a Massive Cylindrical Object Engulfed in a Regulatory Pool Fire

A series of large-scale experiments were performed to measure heat transfer to a massive cylindrical calorimeter engulfed in a 30-minute circular-pool fire. The calorimeter inner surface temperature and the flame black body emissive power were measured at several locations as functions of time. An inverse conduction technique was used to determine the net heat flux to the calorimeter. Light win...

A New Investigation on Tunnel Pool Fire Phenomenon Using CFD Technique

In this study, the amount of generated pool fire, as a result of the release of chemicals in the case of an accident in tunnels, was simulated and the results were compared to the experimental data. At first, various amounts of spatial resolution (R*) were considered to compare the existing experimental data at different heights at the upstream, downstream and above the pool fire...

Numerical Prediction of Heat-flux to Massive Calorimeters Engulfed in Regulatory Fires with the Cask Analysis Fire Environment (cafe) Model

Recent observations show that the thermal boundary conditions within large-scale fires are significantly affected by the presence of thermally massive objects. These objects cool the soot and gas near their surfaces, and these effects reduce the incoming radiant heat-flux to values lower than the levels expected from simple σTfire models. They also affect the flow and temperature fields in the ...

Design of an Experiment to Measure Heat Transfer to a Massive Object Engulfed in a Full Scale Regulatory Fire

This paper describes the design of a full-scale experiment to measure the heat transfer from a large pool fire to an engulfed 1.2 m diameter, 2.54 cm wall thickness hollow cylindrical calorimeter. This work is focused at determining whether temperature measurements made on the interior calorimeter surface can be used with a one-dimensional inverse conduction solver to accurately determine the h...
