Pool fire diameter- Continuous release

No barriers present

Fuel regression rate: m/s
Leak rate of the liquid fuel: m3/s
Equilibrium diameter: m
Time to reach the equilibrium diameter: s




The equilibrium diameter of a continuous release on a smooth surface and the time to reach this diameter are given by the following expressions (Mudan, Ref. /7-1/):
