- Abstract
- Three methods for determining the boundary between entering air and exiting smoke at the single ventilation opening in a model room enclosure are presented: temperature profile, optical distortion due to thermal gradients, and differential CO(2) concentration. Preliminary tests with the first two methods gave reasonable and consistent results.
