- Abstract
- It will be one of the most important subject to measure exact mass flow rate (inflow and outflow) through an opening for analyzing various aspects of fire. In strict way, this rate can be obtained by measuring the local gas velocities whole over the opening and integrating them. But this is too complex and tedious in most cases. When gas temperature in a room is nearly uniform like in the fully developed fire, it was shown by Kawagoe and Thomas that an opening mass flow rate can be easily calculated applying Bernoulli's relation.
