Abstract:
Some refinements have been made on a multi-room fire
sread model. The primary improvements are: (a) that a
model on excess fuel burning in arbitrary room has been
introduced; (b) that a model for the prediction of gas
concentrations has been added; (c) that subroutine
ABSORB, which was created by Modak, has been introduced
to predict the upper layer emissivity; (d) that a new
fire plume model developed by McCaffrey has been
included to remove the inaccureacy and inplausibility of
a vertical point heat source plime model; and (e) that
the code has been revised so that it can deal with tall
buildings with somewhat less computer memory size.
