Abstract

This work presents a simple model to predict the radiation heat flux from a flame to a floor surrounding it. This heat flux was measured both in an unconfined space (open air) and under a ceiling. Flame lengths, flame temperatures, and ceiling surface temperatures, all of which are necessary to predict radiation heat flux, were also measured. Flame shapes were modeled by two cylinders and two disks representing the impinging flame's continuous and intermittent flame regions. The emissivity of the cylinders was calculated from the heat balance at the flame surface, and the radiation heat flux to the floor was predicted well by the model.
