TABLE OF CONTENTS As can be seen in Figure A. 1, predictions of burning rate vary markedly among the different methods. Some of the methods assume stoichiometric or ventilation-limited burning, while others account for fuel-controlled burning.
From Equation 20 similar results can be derived:
or
The pool fire results are explained by the stoichiometry and thermal feedback.
The locus of 
s and 
both are larger for liquids compared to wood.
In the CIB experiments the fuel is placed over the entire floor; therefore, A F ? A.
Here the theory gives
From Equation 26, for

which agrees with the trends in Figure A.2.
The Eurocode prescribes

This specification must assume a ventilation-limited fire and ignores the other variables.
Only a ventilation-limited fire is assumed.

The theoretical development gives
For temperature, T = f(F, t) and C, a constant which takes into account the properties of the bounding materials of the enclosure.
This represents kpc since k ~ p.
Magnusson, Thelandersson, and Petersson compute a result for temperature based on a similar theory. They augment it with a rate of rise for developing fire and a prescribed cooling phase. They use only the ventilation-controlled...
