Flame Height Correlation Calculator

This tool calculates flame heights based on the correlations of Zukoski, Cox&Chitty, Thomas, Heskestad, and Steward. Source: SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering 2nd Edition Table 2-1.2.

Theory

To come.
Heat Release Rate: kW
Fire Diameter: m
Ambient Temperature: K
H(Zukoski) = m
H(Cox&Chitty) = m
H(Thomas) = m
H(Heskestad) = m
H(Steward) = m
NOTE: A blank flame height box indicates that the situation is out of the bounds of the particular correlation.

Instructions

  1. Enter the heat release rate and diameter of the fire as well as the ambient temperature.
  2. Click on the "GO" button.
