## 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
There is no doubt that increased application of sprinkler protection through a building can significantly reduce fire losses. In many compartment fires, the water damage is far more extensive than the flame damage. This paper examines the possibility of controlling the flow of water from sprinklers
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
