Data

19、for Fire Growth Models6.1 Combustion Effciency:6.1.1 IntroductionThe effective heat of combustion infires is smaller than the net heat of combustion because of theincomplete combustion of fuel vapors. The combustionefficiency, , accounts for incomplete combustion.6.1.2 Procedures to Obtain Combustio

20、n EffciencyTheratio between the effective heat of combustion and net heat ofcombustion is the combustion efficiency. Thus, 5hc,effhnet(1)where:hc,eff= effective heat of combustion, kJ/kg, andhc,net= net heat of combustion, kJ/kg.The combustion efficiency for most hydrocarbons rangesfrom 0.4 to 0.9.6

21、.1.3 Apparatus to Be Used:6.1.3.1 Test Method D5865 for hc,net(with adjustment forwater vapor; see 6.6); and6.1.3.2 Cone Calorimeter (Test Method E1354), ICAL Ap-paratus (Test Method E1623), or the Fire Propagation Appa-ratus (Test Method E2058) for hc,eff(see 6.6).6.2 Density:6.2.1 Introduction:6.2

22、.1.1 The density of a material is the mass of material perunit volume. In fire models, density is usually expressed askg/m3.6.2.1.2 There are two reasons for density to change as amaterial is heated: volatile (flammable or nonflammable, orboth) may be lost and dimensional changes (expansion orcontra

23、ction) may occur. Although corrections for temperaturedependence can be made (1), many models use constant (room)temperature values.6.2.2 Procedures to Obtain Density:6.2.2.1 The density of a material is determined by measur-ing the mass and physical dimensions (volume) of a sample ofthe material. T

24、here are detailed ASTM guidelines for certaintypes of building materials, for example, Test Methods D2395for wood and wood-base materials.6.2.2.2 When the temperature dependence of density issought, changes in mass with temperature can be determinedusing thermogravimetric analysis and changes in dim

26、ioof the power per unit area radiated from its surface to thatradiated from a black body at the same temperature. Amaterials emissivity represents its thermal radiative behaviorintegrated over all wavelengths. Emissivity is a dimensionlessquantity with an upper limit of unity for a black body.6.3.2

27、Procedures to Obtain Emissivity Several standardtest methods have been developed to measure the emissivity ofmaterials. A specimen of the material is usually placed in anevacuated chamber and heated (often with an electric current)to the temperature of interest. The power dissipated by thematerial i

28、s determined and equated to the radiative heat transferto the surroundings. The emissivity of the material is computedusing this power and the Stefan-Boltzman equation.6.3.3 Apparatus to Be Used:6.3.3.1 Vacuum Emittance Test Apparatus (Test MethodC835).6.3.3.2 Portable Emissometer (Test Methods C137

29、1).6.3.3.3 Inspection Meter (Test Methods E408).6.4 Flame Extinction Coeffcient:6.4.1 IntroductionThe flame extinction coefficient interre-lates average radiation parameters such as emissivity, flameintensity, and temperature over the entire spectrum of wave-lengths. It is used in the following equa

30、tion to calculate theemissive power of a flame:E5 ATfA1 2 e2kl! (2)where:E = emissive power of the flame, W,A = enveloping area of the flame, m2, = Boltzman constant, 5.67108W/m2K4,Tf= flame temperature, K,4The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of references at the end ofthis standard.

31、E1591 132k = flame extinction coefficient, m1, andl = path length, m.k is also called the absorption coefficient, absorption-emission coefficient, or effective emission coefficient.6.4.2 Procedures to Obtain Flame Extinction CoeffcientThe coefficient k can be estimated from measurement of theemissiv

32、ity and path length l, assuming emissivity can beexpressed as =1ekl.6.4.3 Apparatus to Be UsedThere is no apparatus formeasuring the flame extinction coefficient. The extinctioncoefficient can be determined by measuring all flame param-eters in the equation for except k. Fire models include manyof s

33、uch empirical equations, but the documentation usuallydoes not specify what the parameters mean and how they are tobe determined. It must be stressed that the equation for ishighly empirical. This makes it essential that the flame area,flame temperature, and extinction coefficient be determined ina

34、self-consistent manner.6.5 Flame Spread Parameter:6.5.1 Introduction:6.5.1.1 The opposed-flow (against the direction of the sur-rounding flow or against gravity) flame spread rate over asurface can be predicted via the equation originally developedby deRis (3):Vp5kcTig2 Ts!2(3)where:Vp= flame travel

35、 rate, m/s, = flame spread parameter, W2/m3,k = thermal conductivity, W/mK, = density, kg/m3,c = heat capacity, J/kgK,Tig= surface temperature at ignition, K, andTs= surface temperature just prior to arrival of the flamefront, K.6.5.1.2 The flame spread parameter, , for specific orienta-tions and in

36、 standard air environments is a characteristic for theheat transfer from the flame to the fuel ahead of the flame frontin the vicinity of the flame foot. It is a material propertyexpressed in W2/m3.6.5.2 Procedures to Obtain the Flame Spread ParameterThe flame spread parameter can be obtained from a

37、 correlationof opposed-flow flame spread data, that is, flame spread rateover a range of irradiance levels (or surface temperatures). Thetest method described in Test Method E1321 was developedspecifically to measure the flame spread parameter. It must bestressed that the equation for Vpis highly em

38、pirical. Thismakes it essential that Vp,k c, and Tigbe determined in aself-consistent manner. Further details on consistent methodsto determine Tigand kc can be found in 6.10 and 6.16,respectively.6.5.3 Apparatus to Be Used:6.5.3.1 LIFT Apparatus (Test Method E1321).6.6 Heat of Combustion:6.6.1 Intr

39、oductionAll combustion reactions generateenergy, which may be expressed as heat. The heat of combus-tion is defined as the amount of heat generated when a unitquantity of fuel is oxidized completely. SI units for heat ofcombustion, hc, is kJ/kg.6.6.2 Procedures to Obtain Heat of Combustion:6.6.2.1 H

40、eats of combustion are measured by combustionbomb calorimetry. A known mass of fuel is burned completelyin an adiabatic apparatus containing pure oxygen. This methodyields the gross heat of combustion. The net heat of combus-tion can be determined by subtracting the latent heat ofevaporation (2.26 k

41、J/kg of water) from the gross heat ofcombustion.6.6.2.2 An effective heat of combustion can be obtainedfrom other tests that use oxygen calorimetry. For example, thecone calorimeter (Test Method E1354) measures the mass lossrate and heat release rate. Incomplete combustion may occur inthis environme

45、e sum of radiation and convectionfrom the flame and the external heat flux (from the radiantheater in a small-scale test), minus the (radiant) heat lossesfrom the surface. The flame flux and heat losses depend on thesurface temperature, which is very difficult to measure. Thecone calorimeter (Test M

46、ethod E1354) has been used, inconjunction with surface temperature measurements, to deter-mine hgfor wood products and PMMA.6.7.2.2 For some materials, the surface temperature is rea-sonably constant and independent of exposure conditions. Aplot of (mean or peak) mass loss rates as a function of ext

47、ernalirradiance yields a fairly linear relationship for such materials.Values of hgcan then be estimated from the inverse of theslope of the regression line through the data points. Tewarsonand Petrella have used this technique to obtain hgvalues fora wide range of plastics (4,5).E1591 1336.7.2.3 Un

48、fortunately, surface temperatures are not constantfor many materials, in particular charring materials and mate-rials with a high smoke yield. The method by Tewarson andPetrella can still be used, but it yields results that have littlephysical meaning. Various investigators have used the versionof t
