Abstract: To analyze the effect of various ventilation modes on heat transfer process of pool fire, fire tests in 0.5m diameter ethanol pool were conducted in the tunnel model. Mass loss rate of fire source, fire temperature field, radiation and convection heat flux of flame were measured and analyzed. The results showed that 0.5m/s longitudinal smoke discharge plays a negative role in the control of fire heat transfer process, the radiant heat flux of persistent flame at the developed stage of fire is 30% bigger than that under natural ventilation condition. Under 0.8,1m/s longitudinal smoke discharge conditions, the radiant heat flux of the persistent flame and the upper smoke layer temperature decreased significantly at the developed stage of fire. 0.5m/s top smoke discharge mode significantly reduced the radiant heat flux of persistent flame, in which fire precedes into the strong stage at the latest and into the decay stage earlier. 0.5m/s top smoke discharge is the most premium ventilation mode.

Key words: pool fire, top smoke discharge, longitudinal smoke discharge, radiation heat flux, smoke temperature
