- Abstract
- This is the first annual report of a continuous program to investigate fire behavior in rooms during the ignition-to-flashover period. The objectives of the program are to quantitatively evaluate time histories of temperatures, gas composition, and heat flux in ignited rooms, and to determine the conditions necessary for the occurrence of flashover. This report contains the results of the studies of full scale room fires using both real and simplified fuel arrays.
