Heat Release Capacity

摘要

The heat release capacity is a molecular-level fire response parameter that has many of the characteristics of an intrinsic material property: it is independent of sample mass (intensive quantity); it is independent of heating rate (pseudo-equilibrium); it is characteristic of, and calculable from, the chemical composition of the material, and; it is measurable by different techniques. The physical basis for a heat release capacity, its measurement and calculation, and its relationship to fire and flammability are described.
