This report describes measurements of heat release rates in tunnel fires by using the oxygen consumption technique. This technique is commonly used in fire laboratories to measure heat release rates up to 10 MW. Measured heat release rates from fire tests with vehicles (a train, a bus, a subway coach and a simulated truck load) and wood cribs are presented. The total heat release rate was determined by measuring oxygen concentrations and mass flow rates over the tunnel cross section at both sides of the fire. The convective fraction of the heat release rate was determined by measuring the temperature and the mass flow rate. The technique is found to work reasonably well for tunnel fires. However, the measured convective fraction of the heat release rate need to be corrected for heat losses from the hot ceiling jet to the cold walls. The total heat release rate need to be corrected for high yields of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the exhaust gases and for vitiation of the inflowing air in the lower part of the cross section. The study is a joint project between a number of European countries with a project name EUREKA EU 499 Firetun.

Effects Of Ventilation On Heat Release Rate Of Pool Fires In A Model Tunnel written by Haukur Ingason and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1995 with Combustion categories.
The effects of ventilation on heat release rate of pool fires in a model tunnel were investigated. The fuels used were heptane. methanol and xylen. The air supply to the fire source was established by natural and forced ventilation. The air flow created by natural ventilation was varied by varying the size of an inlet opening at one end of the tunnel. The forced ventilation was accomplished by a fan. Air flows were varied from slightly less than stoichiometric requirements to extremely air rich conditions with oxygen concentration an order of magnitude above the stoichiometric requirements. The heat release rate is directly proportional to the mass burning rate. The experiments showed a significant difference in the mass burning rate and flame characteristics at air flows close to the stoichiometric requirements. The decrease of mass burning rate is attributed to effects of low oxygen concentration (vitiated air) in the immediate vicinity of the flames. Low oxygen concentration affects the soot formation in the flame and thus the flame radiation to the fuel surface. No significant change in production of CO were observed in the tests. At air flows greater than about 2.5 times the stoichiometric requirements the mass burning rate was found to be similar to that found in the literature for model tunnel tests. There was a tendency for the mass burning rate to decrease with increasing wind velocity at the fire place.

This book covers a wide range of issues in fire safety engineering in tunnels, describes the phenomena related to tunnel fire dynamics, presents state-of-the-art research, and gives detailed solutions to these major issues. Examples for calculations are provided. The aim is to significantly improve the understanding of fire safety engineering in tunnels. Chapters on fuel and ventilation control, combustion products, gas temperatures, heat fluxes, smoke stratification, visibility, tenability, design fire curves, heat release, fire suppression and detection, CFD modeling, and scaling techniques all equip readers to create their own fire safety plans for tunnels. This book should be purchased by any engineer or public official with responsibility for tunnels. It would also be of interest to many fire protection engineers as an application of evolving technical principles of fire safety.

Although the number of Christmas tree fires is low, these fires carry a higher level of hazard than other fires that occur in a residential structure. This study, supported by the U. S. Fire Administration, has the following three objectives: 1) characterize the heat release rate of dry Fraser fir trees 2) demonstrate the ignition resistance of a tree with a high moisture content and 3) examine the impact of a residential sprinkler on the heat release rate of a dry tree that is on fire in a compartment.
