Burning characteristics of solid combustibles in fire investigation

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Predictive fire models are increasingly being considered to analyse fire events. Nevertheless, the burning characteristics of solid combustibles relevant to household and industrial fires are yet to be thoroughly understood and described. This project focuses on the development of novel and innovative predictive fire models by incorporating a more comprehensive analysis of the combustion process of solid fuel, and directly linking the chemistry with particular volatiles emitted from the solid combustibles. These volatiles are regarded as being game-changing for fire engineering design assessments for a wide range of high temperature conditions in different settings and configurations.
