Experimental Study on Fire Behaviour in Room following the Disposition of Openings by Fidel Meskéoulé Vondou, Claude Valery Ngayihi Abbe, Justin Tégawendé Zaida, Philippe Onguene Mvogo, Ruben Mouangue

“…The second one named “PFO configuration” is the case where these both openings are in opposite walls. After having performed several fire tests in both configurations using the same amount of diesel fuel as fire source, results revealed that the fuel burns faster in the PFC configuration compared to that in the PFO configuration. …”
