This paper presents a one-dimensional mathematical model of enclosure fire dynamics. The model is based on the fundamental equations of mass, momentum and energy and uses the top hat velocity and temperature profiles for the movement of plume gases. A computational algorithm is also developed to sol

Models are developed to describe horizontal insulated cables and cable trays exposed to a fire plume. The models also apply to cables protected by fire-retardant coatings. A cable or coated cable can ignite when its surface is hot enough to generate flammable gas, unless the level of 0 2 available i
Their performance is tested against experimental data for different operating conditions. The importance of the different assumptions is analyzed and discussed. For the conditions analyzed in the present article the model of Rajah and Wen more closely follows the experimental trends. However, some d
