    Critical velocity calculations were performed for a tunnel based on equations from Mosen Ltd. The following values were used as inputs: a fire heat release rate of 10,000,000 W, a tunnel area of 11.85 m2, an ambient temperature of 21°C, and an ambient pressure of 101,000 Pa. The critical velocity, or minimum wind speed required to prevent smoke backlayering, was calculated to be 2.642 m/s based on the input values and equations 1 through 10 shown on pages 1 through 4 of the document.
