Abstract
The knowledge of the fire safety distance of the multiple pool fires is essential to model, manage, and mitigate the fire hazardous scenarios to safeguard the surrounding people, buildings and equipment. In this work, experiments are performed on 0.1 m gasoline double pool fires to calculate the fire safety distances using an infrared imaging technique. The distance (S/D) between the two pool is varied from 0 to 1. The irradiance from the two pools is calculated using the two-dimensional temperature field obtained by an IR camera. The calculated irradiance along the flame axial direction and on the ground is presented in a contour format. The safety distances are also represented as a function of their respective flame lengths. Two threshold heat fluxes: (I) 1.4 kW/m2 and (II) 4.7 kW/m2 which are required for human safety are emphasised in the contour plots for all the configurations.
期刊介绍：
Fire Technology publishes original contributions, both theoretical and empirical, that contribute to the solution of problems in fire safety science and engineering. It is the leading journal in the field, publishing applied research dealing with the full range of actual and potential fire hazards facing humans and the environment. It covers the entire domain of fire safety science and engineering problems relevant in industrial, operational, cultural, and environmental applications, including modeling, testing, detection, suppression, human behavior, wildfires, structures, and risk analysis.
The aim of Fire Technology is to push forward the frontiers of knowledge and technology by encouraging interdisciplinary communication of significant technical developments in fire protection and subjects of scientific interest to the fire protection community at large.
It is published in conjunction with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE). The mission of NFPA is to help save lives and reduce loss with information, knowledge, and passion. The mission of SFPE is advancing the science and practice of fire protection engineering internationally.
