Emission of smoke from various fuels has been examined using data from the literature. The examination of these data show that the average smoke emission rate, GS , depends on the fire size, expressed as the average chemical heat release rate, Qch , and the combustion chemistry expressed as the ratio of the yields or emission rates of CO to CO2 (yCO/CO2 or GCO /GCO2 respectively). Correlation is found between GS and Qch ( yCO / yCO2 ) or Qch (GCO / GCO2 ) to the power 0.96 with a correlation constant of 0.053. The correlation holds for particulate dominated smoke and for fuels with non-particulate dominated smoke in the presence of H and OH atoms provided by other fuels or by the ignition source, such as a hydrocarbon gas burner. |
