Smoke Ventilation Calculation

DORMITORY
Smoke Calculation: GROUND FLOOR, FIRST FLOOR AND SECOND FLOOR

Area of each Zone is less than 2000 sqm

Fire area : 9.0 M2

Fire Perimeter : 12 M
Heat Release : 160 KW/M2
Height of Bottom of Clear Layer : 2.5 M

Mass flow of hot gases entering the smoke layer

Mf : 0.19 PY3/2
Mf : Mass flow of hot gases entering the smoke layer (Kg/S)
P : Fire Perimeter (M)
y : Height of bottom of smoke layer above floor (M)
Mf : 0.19 x 12 x 2.53/2
=9.01 Kg/Sec.

Temperature rise of smoke layer above ambient temperature

 : Qf
Mf Cp

f : Af x qf Heat Release Rate (KW)

Af : Fire area (M)

Qf : Heat release per unit fire area (KW/M2)

Cp : Specific heat of smoke = 1.01 KJ/Kg oK

Q : 9 x 160 = 158.2 oC
9.01 x 1.01

Mechanical Ventilation:

V : Mf Tc / o To
Tc : Temperature of smoke layer (k) = To + 

= 303+158.2 = 461.2 oK
