Summary

Smallest convective heat release rate that drives smoke to the ceiling, for 5 K difference between floor and ceiling, by three methods. Based on Milke (2002b), p. 4-304; Schifiliti et al. (2002), p. 4-27; and Heskestad (2002), p. 2-9.

Original illustration for Smoke stratification, level 4 Expert.

Source basis: Milke (2002b), p. 4-304 (Equation 43); Schifiliti et al. (2002), p. 4-27 (Equation 27); Heskestad (2002), p. 2-9 (critical temperature rise and Example 7)
Alt text: Chart: the fire needed to reach the ceiling grows steeply with ceiling height; one method gives about three times the other two.
