Thermal measurements in large pool fires

· J. Heat Transfer; (United States)
During the summer of 1983, a series of pool fire tests was conducted inwhich the test item was a 1.4-m-dia, 6.4-m-long, mild steel calorimeter with amass of approximately 10,000 kg. The purpose of these tests was to study thethermal response of a large test item in a specified fire configuration, todefine thermal boundary conditions, and to assess the repeatability of the fireenvironment. While the calorimeter used in the tests simulated a nuclear wastetransportation cask, the results of the study have broader application to thetruck and rail transport of hydrocarbon fuels and hazardous chemicals.
