TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Short communication: Application of a surrogate material in assessing the impact of porosity on reignition of wood-based materials JO - Fire and materials A1 - Moghtaderi, Behdad A1 - Poespowati, Tri A1 - Dlugogorski, B A1 - Kennedy, E. SP - 99 EP - 101 VL - 26 IS - 2 N2 - Re-ignition behaviour of charred solid fuels after extinction by water is studied. In this communication the effect of material porosity on re-ignition is investigated. A surrogate ceramic material is used so as to separate the pyrolysis and combustion processes from those associated with heat transfer. Experimental data are reported for different sample thickness and porosity, and varying heat flux and water application time.
