Minimum air flux required for advance of fire front - Nelson and McNiel
Input(s)
\(a_{r}\): Air Required to Burn Unit Volume of Reservoir (MSCF/ \(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\) )
\(E_{O 2}\): Oxygen Consumption Efficiency (fraction)
Output(s)
\(u_{\text {min }}\): Minimum Air Flux \(\left(\mathrm{SCF} / \mathrm{ft}^{2} \mathrm{~d}\right)\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{u}_{\min }=\frac{0.125 * \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{r}}}{\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{O} 2}}
\]
