- Abstract
- The Harvard 5.2 Mathematical Fire Growth Model was used to calculate required ventilation rates for two simulated fire scenarios in the Navy 19F3 trainer. These calculations were performed for design purposes to insure that the hot gas layer temperature in the trainer would be acceptable and that the oxygen content of the gas would be above 18%. Wall temperatures were also calculated.
