A Point-Based Sampling Approach for Measuring Heat Release Rate of Fuel-on-Water Pool Fires on Wavy Water
摘要
A crucial requirement of current hood-based calorimetry techniques is the complete encapsulation, collection, and measurement of combustion products. This approach is limited by the need to build supporting infrastructure to facilitate the anticipated fire sizes, such as adequate burn space, a hood structure, and an exhaust system. A proposed approach towards calorimetry is examined in this work, where a sampling plane is established with sampling points placed along the radial direction of the smoke plume. Previous studies were large-scale field trials in outdoor scenarios, with uncertainties contributed by factors such as wind, unknown sampling locations, and limited repeat experiments. This study reduces the uncertainty of this approach by measuring the heat release rate (HRR) of medium-scale kerosene pool fires (
