A review of wildland fire spread modelling, 1990-present, 1: Physical and quasi-physical models (2007, methodology): “This can be determined by taking the second velocity moment (k=2) which provides an equation for the conservation of energy, but it itself needs a further, incomplete, equation to provide a solution.”
A Review of Factors Affecting the Burning Behaviour of Wood for Application to Tall Timber Construction (2018, background): “Cellulose is typically the next compound to decompose, with decomposition temperatures (which likely have the same dependencies as those for hemicellulose) quoted as 240°C to 350°C [4,9], 250°C to 350°C [3], 315°C to 400°C [29], 280°C to 400°C [19] or 300°C to 350°C [20].”
An investigation of the detailed flame shape and flame length under the ceiling of a channel (2015, methodology): “45 kJ/g [5] and complete combustion was assumed in the estimation of HRR.”
