Abstract

Summary: This study documents a series of time‐averaged gas species measurements made along the centerline of a 30 cm methanol pool fire steadily burning in a quiescent environment. All gas species measurements were obtained using a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer system (GC/MS). Measurements were made at different heights along the centerline of the fire and repeated at least twice for each location. Gas species volume fractions were determined via the GC/MS using predetermined calibration factors. The gas species volume fractions were compared at different heights within the methanol fire.
