The role of the product of the thermal properties of thermal conductivity and thermal capacity per unit volume in fire growth is explored in relation to a simple model of a room fire. The calculated differences between flashover times for two different lining materials are plausible; the main conclusion is to show that the flashover time depends on KpC in a weaker relationship than simple proportionality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
