| Popis: | Scholars and scientists have been attempting to discover ways to control and lessen the reverberation of concurrent fires such as forest fires, building fires, and other various space fires but no convincing solutions have been concluded from their studies so far. The fundamental genesis of these types of fires concerns the unstable nature of the flames and considerable unpredictability associated with them. This led us to make an effort to study the etiquette of such flames – an experimental setup with rather ideal conditions was devised and an in-depth study was carried out. The present study predominately covers the study of fire propagation phenomena and the zeal of fire control in our daily life. This study includes the review of the varying regression rates and fire spread rates of flames as noticed in matchsticks when spaced in a linear orientation. The deportment instability of the flames will give us an insight into the heterogeneous fire propagation phenomenon and its control. Intuition into the heterogeneous fire propagation is expected for essential fire safety and, on its basis, an algorithm for the same is to be formulated. With this understanding along with the existing information, it might give us some possible solution to the reduction of such kinds of fires in buildings, forests, space propulsion systems and, large-scale fires in industries. |
