- half-scale ASTM compartment in which the source is a heptane pool fire; fuel vapour generation rates from the 23 cm diameter pan for the three fuels; comparative heat release rates for the compartment based on fuel mass loss; comparisons between steady-state Gardon gauge measurement and numerical prediction (17 cm diameter pan, gauge locations
