Abstract

A three-dimensional mathematical model for calculating the heat and mass transfer in a fire within a building has been proposed. The results of theoretical calculations were compared with the experimental data, the analytical solutions, and the integral mathematical model of the fire. Based on the numerical calculations performed by the model proposed the author determined certain features of the initial stage of a fire within a building, which made it possible to develop a system of early detection of a fire using pressure transducers.
