Uncertainty Analysis of Energy Release Rate Measurement for Room Fires
Source abstract
Abstract
Fire performance quantification of room finishes and furnishings may be made in terms of energy release rate developed in a room volume during a fire. Energy release rate may be determined by the oxygen consumption method. Uncertainties of the oxygen consumption method and measurement instru ments were combined into a resultant uncertainty of the system. Experiments were conducted in the room compartment lined with noncombustible walls.
