Estimating large pool fire burning rates

  • Published:
Fire Technology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Data for estimating the burning rate and heat output of large pool fires (diameter ≳ 0.2 m) are compiled and computational equations presented. Since a large scatter in the reported data is noted, attention is also focused on areas where further research is most needed in order to improve predictability.
