Formula Used
1. Mass flow of smoke into layer
MI C P (Y)
1.5
MI = Ce x P x (Y)
1.5
where, Ce is entrainment coefficient
P is perimeter of fire
Y Height to undesirable of smoke layer
2. Convecting Heat Flux leaving Flame
Qf = Af x qf
where, Af is Area of fire
qf is heat release rate per sq metre of fire
3. Convecting Heat Flux Entering Smoke layer
QI = Qf x (1 (heat loss/100)) QI = Qf x (1 - (heat loss/100))
4. Calculated average temperature of smoke layer
qI = QI / (c x MI)
where, c is specific heat of air
5. Absolute average temp of smoke layer
TI = qI +273
5. Poweer Extract Rate
VI = (MI x TI) / ( x To)
where, isdensity of air
To is absolute temperature of air
6. Minimum Flowing layer depth
dI = ( (MI x TI) / (Y x (qI)
0.5
x W) )
0.666
where, W is Narrowest width of smoke reservoir
7. Critical exhaust rate
Mcric = [ 2.05 x x (g x To x qI)
0.5
x dlv

x Dv ] / TI
where, dlv is design smoke depth
Dv is length of smoke ventilator Dv is length of smoke ventilator
