Model predictions of time to ignition and of the probability of ignition as a function of fuel bed moisture content and ambient flow velocity are compared with results obtained in laboratory ignition tests of straw fuel beds for various ambient conditions. According to this study, the main parameters influencing the models developed are the fuel bed and tobacco moisture content, as well as the flow velocity. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/95657 | ISSN: | 2571-6255 | DOI: | 10.3390/fire4030035 | Rights: | openAccess |
