TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - A simulation model for compartment fires JO - Fire safety journal A1 - Nakaya, I A1 - Akita, K SP - 157 EP - 165 VL - 5 IS - 2 N2 - From the standpoint that the strict estimation of heat released in an enclosure is important to simulate enclosure fires, a new mathematical model involving the combustion efficiency, the temperature dependence of heat capacities, and the composition of burnt gas has been developed. The calculated results are in good agreement with a few experimental results for enclosure fires having different fuel areas and compartment sizes.
