Thermal radiation hazards from large pool fires and fireballs: a literature review

Abstract

BGC engineers review the scientific literature relevant to hydrocarbon pool fires and fireballs in order to identify the data and relationships needed to estimate the potential thermal radiation hazards associated with the fires. The features of practical importance to such estimates are the fire geometry, the temperature and thermal emissive power of the flame gases, the fuel burning rate, and the mass of fuel involved.
