| Abstract | The objectives of these tests were to determine whether a simple fuel geometry can conservatively represent real furniture for fire risk assessment and to verify NRC's fire growth submodel for office buildings. The tests were conducted using both office furniture and wood cribs and measured the temperature, heat release rate, mass flow rate and concentrations of combustion gases. This was done using an open office arrangement. The results are compared to determine how well wood cribs conservatively representedtypical office furniture. The results will be used later to validate the FiRECAM fire growth submodel which uses wood cribs as the representative fuel. |
