- Abstract
- The mass rate of entrainment is examined for a fire plume in a room. Entrainment rates are inferred from measurements of air flow through a door or window and from room temperature da ta. The effect of the air flow is to tilt the flame plume, and to increase the entrainment rate over that of a vertical free stadiang plume.
