• Abstract:
  The rate of energy release in fire is discussed. The significance of calorimetric measurements of energy release for materials is related to thermal-dynamic parameters, namely heat of reaction and stoichiometric coefficients. It is shown that a common set of parameters is necessary to express ignition, flame spread and mass loss due to combustion and heat transfer in fires. The relationship of ignition and flame spread to rate of energy release in fires is presented along with a presentation on upward spread.
