Notes:
A simple model for predicting as concentrations, temperature and heat release rate in a room fire was developed. The CO, CO2 yield rates and O2 yield rates and O2 depletion rate were calculated using this model for wood fuel. The calculated values were compared with the experimental ones and a fairly good accuracy was obtained. As this model can apply to any kind of fuel by replacing the assumption for the fuel pyrolysis, it may be useful for evaluating toxic hazards in a room fire.
