Abstract

This paper presents a number of engineering relations drawn from the literature for calculating properties of fire plumes. Plume properties considered include flame heights, temperatures, velocities, concentrations of combustion products, and entrainment rates of air from the surroundings. In addition, a brief discussion is presented on the effect of fire growth to demonstrate the validity of the relations set forth. A note on virtual origin is also included.
