IGNITION OF CELLULOSIC KINDLING FUELS BY VEREF RADIANT PULSES
Abstract
Radiant exposure values are reported for sustained flaming ignition of black a-cellulose, newspaper and kraft corrugated board exposed to constant- irradiance, thermal inputs of 30 ms duration and longer. The radiant exposure values are shown to be approximately proportional to the thickness of the exposed material and not strongly dependent on exposure duration for pulses this brief. The significance of sus tained flaming ignition, relative to ablation effects, for pulses of very brief duration is discussed.
