A room fire has a heat release rate of 1000 kW. What will be the flame length of the fire in the middle, against a noncombustible wall, and in a corner of the room?

Asked by bomedemshadrach

Answer (2)

The flame length from a 1000 kW fire is estimated at approximately 54 meters against a noncombustible wall and around 45 meters in a corner due to varying interactions with surrounding structures. These estimates are made using an empirical formula for flame length. Recognizing these differences is important for fire safety planning. ;

The estimated flame length for a 1000 kW fire is approximately 54 meters against a noncombustible wall and about 45 meters in a corner of the room due to geometric configurations. Factors such as heat reflection and airflow dynamics significantly influence this variation in flame length. Understanding these differences is critical for fire safety strategies.
