Frontal Fire Intensity
Frontal Fire Intensity : The rate of heat energy release per unit time per unit length of fire front. Flame size is its main visual manifestation. Frontal fire intensity is a major determinant of certain fire effects and difficulty of control. Numerically, it is equal to the product of the net heat of combustion, quantity of fuel consumed in the flaming front, and linear rate of spread. Recommended SI unit is kilowatts per metre (kW/m). Syn: Byram's Fireline Intensity (used mainly in the United States) and Line-fire Intensity. Note: Flame Length
