Abstract Smouldering combustion is defined as a flameless oxidation reaction occurring on the surface of the condensed phase (i.e., solid or liquid). Traditional research on smouldering was related to economic damages, fire risk, and death, due to the release of toxic gases and slow propagation rates. Recently, smouldering has been applied as an intentional, engineering technology (e.g., waste and contaminant destruction). Smouldering involves the transport of heat, mass, and momentum in the solid and fluid phases along with different chemical reactions. Therefore, numerical models are essential for the fundamental understanding of the process. Smouldering models either neglected heat transfer between phases (i.e., assumed local thermal equilibrium) or employed heat transfer correlations (i.e., under local thermal non- equilibrium conditions) not appropriate for smouldering. -

Fire Growth and Smoke Spread Model for Fire Safety System Design: Experimental Verification
Fire Growth and Smoke Spread Model for Fire Safety System Design: Experimental Verification M LUQ* and Y HE Center for Environmental Safety and Risk Engineering Victoria University of Technology 14428 MCMC, Melbourne, VIC 8001, Australia ABSTRACT A one-zone model (NRC C) and a two-zone model (CFAST) have been tested against experiments and used in the fire research community. However, the selection of either ofthem as a sub-model for a fire safety system model needs further verification against the experimental results under a variety of fire scenarios. In the present study, the performance of the above two models is evaluated with respect to accuracy, efficiency and simplicity. This study indicates that significant discrepancies exist between the experimental results and the results from both the CFAST model and the NRCC model. The CFAST model generally over-predicts the upper layer temperatures in the burn room but provides reasonable predictions in the adjacent enclosures. The CFAST model over-predicts CO concentrations when the air-handling system is turned on; the model under-predicts CO when the system is off. The NRCC model correlates the burning characteristics of the fuel with the burn room conditions. The results give a good agreement with the experimental results in the burn room for some fire scenarios but discrepancies exist for others. However, the NRCC fire model is applicable to the bum room only. It was found that the room-averaged temperatures for the bum room obtained from the CFAST model were in a good agreement with the experimental results and the NRCC model results. -

Palmer and M.D. Perry SUMMARY The effeot of an inoident airflow upon the smouldering of beech sawdust has been investigated in detail. The sawdust was fonned into small t:t~ains, as in earlier experiments tinder still-air oonditions, aild.placed in a small wind tunnel; smouldering was then' initiated by a small gas flame '~d the time of' travel over unit distance (smouldering time) was detennined. A'log'arithmio relationship was found betweeathe ~oulderingti.me arid, incident air velooity; the eff'edts of" variations in train size, sawdust particle size, and moisture content upon this relationship were comparatively slight. The' reduotion in the minimum depth of sawdust neoessary for suabadned smouldering was also invest~gated and it was shown that this depth could be reduced easily to .Leaa than 3 IIlIIlo by an inoident draught. ' , Some f'urther experdmenbs , desoribed in an AppenCi.ix, showed that flaming, could be produced in wood shavings or newspaper in contact with the smouldering sawdust and that only gentle airflows are neceasary, From these ,results it is concluded that an outbreak of fire could be a direot consequence, . -

The-Firewood-Poem (Congreve)
The Firewood Poem - Lady Celia Congreve Published in the Times: March 2nd 1930 These hardwoods burn well and slowly, Holly logs will burn like wax, Ash, beech, hawthorn oak and holly. You could burn them green. Softwoods flare up quick and fine, Elm logs burn like smouldering flax, Birch, fir, hazel, larch and pine. With no flame to be seen. Elm and willow you'll regret, Beech logs for winter time, Chestnut green and sycamore wet. Yew logs as well sir. Green elder logs it is a crime, Beechwood fires are bright and clear, For any man to sell sir. If the logs are kept a year. Chestnut's only good, they say, Pear logs and apple logs, If for long 'tis laid away. They will scent your room. But Ash new or Ash old, And cherry logs across the dogs, Is fit for a queen with crown of gold. They smell like flowers of broom. But Ash logs smooth and grey, Birch and fir logs bum too fast, Buy them green or old, sir. Blaze up bright and do not last. And buy up all that come your way, It is by the Irish said, They're worth their weight in gold sir. Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread. Elm wood bums like churchyard mould, Logs to Burn, Logs to burn, Logs to burn, E'en the very flames are cold. Logs to save the coal a turn. But Ash green or Ash brown, Here's a word to make you wise, Is fit for a queen with golden crown.
