Popis: Twenty-seven forced ventilation fire experiments were conducted in the Lawrence Liver-more National Laboratory (LLNL) fire test cell. A wide variety of fuels, ventilation rates and fire strengths were included. Experimental results revealed that "quasi-steady-state" was not reached until approximately 2000 s after ignition. It was found that 80 percent ±5 percent of the heat produced by the fire was deposited in the enclosure walls. Twice the stoichiometric ventilation was required to insure complete combustion of the provided fuel. Selected data was compared with predictions from several computer models and the attributes and difficulties of each are discussed.
