- Abstract
- The Generalized Global Equivalence Ratio Model (GGERM) was developed to predict the generation rates of oxygen, fuel, and other products of combustion in rooms containing fires. The GGERM extends to general transient conditions the global equivalence ratio model established during times of steady-state in experimental studies involving two-layer compartment fires. The present work uses the GGERM to predict upper layer mass fractions of products of combustion (fuel, oxygen, CO and others) in these two-layer fire experiments, but during times of transient response.
