The paper reports recent results on the burning of parallel combustible walls. Tests are discussed which were carried out with walls made of wicks ~1 m high soaked with methanol and toluene-methanol mixtures. A maximum increase in burning rate of about 40 percent over the single wall case is calculated from a view-factor analysis of the radiative heat exchange between the wails: this is consistent with the experimental measurements. The predicted maximum in burning rate occurs at a wall spacing of about 20 percent of the wall height. The analysis, which is based on a careful examination of the contribution by radiation to the energy budget for the burning of single walls, should not be regarded as a theory for parallel burning. There is indication, however, that the view-factor analysis may be reasonably accurate thanks to some cancellation among the phenomena which are not considered by the theory |
