DETERMINATION OF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION REACTION CHARACTERISTICS (A, E) OF WOOD SAMPLES FOR FIRE DYNAMICS SIMULATION

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to determine the pre-exponential factor (A) and the reaction
activation energy (E) of decomposition reactions that are needed for Fire Dynamics Simulation (FDS)
using Derivatograph Q 1500D.
The materials we investigated: Pine Wood Board (PWB), Multilayered Parquet Board (MPB),
Particleboard Core (PBC) and Oriented Standard Board (OSB).
