## Abstract Alpert's expressions are used extensively to calculate the maximum temperature and velocity in the ceilingβjet at any distance, __r__, from the fire axis. These expressions are valid for unconfined ceilings insofar as the environment outside the ceilingβjet is uniform in temperature and

In the present work the single-temperature and single-velocity model is presented to investigate numerically combustion processes and gas aerosol extinction in a compartment. An agreement is obtained between calculated and experimental data in time it takes for the extingusihing concentration to rea
A numerical investigation is described wherein expected gas temperatures in compartment fires where the fuel consists of a pool of thermoplastic material are determined. Natural ventilation from a single rectangular window is assumed and only steady-state, well-stirred, flashed-over fire is consider
From the standpoint that the strict estimation of heat released in an enclosure is important to simulate enclosure fires, a new mathematical model involving the combustion efficiency, the temperature dependence of heat capacities, and the composition of burnt gas has been developed. The calculated r
