Temperature development of selected materials in a reduced model – experimental test

Abstract

The work is focused on an experimental test of temperature development in a scale model. Various types of combustible materials were used in the test in combination with the spruce wood. The work points to the influence of the fuel source on selected parameters of a fire in an enclosed space. The course of a fire is influenced by various factors. The course of a fire in an enclosed space differs from the course of a fire in an open space. As a part of the overall development of the fire, the temperature of the fire is affected. Therefore, one can state that the parameters affecting the development of an internal fire also have a direct effect on the temperature development. The main goal of this work is to compare different types of materials in terms of the properties they manifest during a fire. The practical part contains the analysis of the materials used in the experiment. Description of the scale model and of the measuring control panel are the content of another part of the work. In the end there is a comparison of the individual temperature curves.
