I've got an old article from the Arson Research Project, titled
"FIRE PATTERN ANALYSIS AND CASE STUDY REVIEW IN POST-FLASHOVER FIRES"
in which it is stated ;
"
In October 2011, The Arson Research Project conducted live-fire research in Palo Alto, California,
in order to compare the fire patterns and maximum room temperatures created by fires allowed to burn beyond flashover
in the absence of an ignitable liquid with fire patterns and maximum room temperature created in the presence of an ignitable liquid.
The research consisted of burning four 12’ by 12’ furnished burn cells beyond flashover.
Three of the burn cells were ignited without liquid accelerant;
the fourth burn cell was ignited in the presence of liquid accelerant (approximately 90 oz. of paint thinner poured in the center of the room). Temperature measurement instrumentation was installed throughout each burn cell
in order to monitor temperature changes at various locations in each cell.
"
Anybody got a contact [person for me on this; I need raw data of the accelerated vs -unaccelerated fires.
Thanx
