- Abstract
- This is a report to sponsor summarizing work accomplished under Naval Research Laboratory Contract N0017388WR80284 "Burning Characteristics of Combat Ship Compartments and Vertical Fire Spread." The computer program FIRST was employed to estimate levels of temperature, energy and heat transfer in burning compartments having features typical of Naval vessels with emphasis on vertical fire spread due to heat transfer through metal decks.
