# Assumptions:-
Fire Area = 3x3 = 9 sq.m
Smoke Plume High (Y) = 2.5 M
Total height (H) = 3.5 M
Smoke layer thickness (db) = H - Y = 1 M
Floor Area = sq.m

# Determining the heat release

Q = q x A …………………………(1) HEAT RELEASE =
93 KW/M2 FOR FURNATURE
where q = 93 KW/sq.M (for vehicles) 310 KW/M2 FOR CELLULOSICS

From equation (1) 260 KW/M2 FOR VIHICLES(car park)

Qs = 837 kw

# Determining smoke mass flow rate Ms

Ms = 0.188 PY 3/2 ………………… (2)
where P = Fire Perimeter = 12 M
Y = Clear height of smoke plume = 2.5 M
From equation (2)
Ms = 0.188 x12 x 2.53/2
Ms = 8.9 kg/s.

# Determining plume temperature rise :

Qs
dT = ………….(3)
Ms x Cps

dT = 93 K
And
Ts = To + DT …………………….(4)
Where :
Ts = Smoke temp.
To =Ambient temp. = 303 K

Ts = 396 K

# Determining the required air flow rate :

Ms Ts
V = ……………….(5)
To ps
Where :-
V = Required air volumetric flow rate
ps = Smoke density = 1.2 Kg/m3

V = 9.7 M3/Sec.

= 20,584 CFM ~~= 21,000 CFM

 # Determining duct size and fan static pressure :-

V = A X v ………………………….(8)
Where v = volumetric flow rate for one fan = 21,000 cfm
OR. v = volumetric flow rate for one fan = 9.7 M3/Sec.
A = duct cross sec. Area
V = desired air velocity in the duct = 6 M/Sec.

A = 1.62 M2
Static pressure ( in.wg) = 0.5 + duct friction loss
where duct friction loss = 0.5 in.wg
Total Static pressure ( in.wg) = 1 in.wg.

# Determining fresh air intake area :
No. of entrances and doors = 2 doors
Average door size (m) = 2.2 (width) , 2 (height)
= 4.4 m2
Total fresh air intake area = 8.8 m2

V = AX v ………………………….(8)

Where V = The required fresh air supply

= 21,000 CFM
= 9.7 M3/Sec.
Assuming average air velocity through doors to be 2m/s ( to allow door opening for
occupants evacuation )
A= 4.86 m2 in case if the enterances area
is less than the required
The required area is less than doors and enterance areas area , so, the fresh air fans
SO, Enterance area is sufficient as fresh air supply openings . are required .
Fresh Air Fans:
Fresh Air Fans capacity shall be half of exhaust air capacity depending on the doors and
park ramp opening to deliver adequate fresh air amount for the other half of the floor area .
Fresh Air properties shall be :
Nunmers: 2 Nos. Fans
Capacity: 5,250 cfm (each)
Type : Tubilar ducted
Location : ………………………………………….
Total Static pressure ( in.wg) = 1 in.wg.

GENERAL

- All fans used in smoke management and exhaust system ( exhaust and fresh air fans )
shall be capable to withstand 200 oC temp.for 30 min.

- All fans shall be interconnected with fire allarm panel for automatic operation also, shall be
provided with ON /OFF switch near enterances for manual operation by occupants.
