- Abstract
- Experimental results on the rate of lateral flame spread and time for piloted ignition under an externally imposed radiant flux were analyzed with a simple theoretical model. The data ere developed from a radiant panel apparatus that considers a wall mounted sample with a flux distribution [equation omitted] of 5 W cm(-2) at the ignited end to 0.2 W cm(-2) at the other end.
