- Abstract
- The rate of burning in a pool fire depends on the heat feedback from the flame to the fuel surface. Local conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer to the pool surface vary with radial location. The relative contributions of the heat feedback processes depend mainly on pool size, flame shape, flame luminosity, species concentrations and soot volume fractions.
