Abstract
Smoke temperature and volume flow rate in a tunnel fire are calculated. To obtain realistic results, enthalpy of smoke which composites combustion gases and entrainment air is calculated from curvefit polynomials by temperature. A user-friendly computer program for them is also developed. This program might be used for a good engineering tool in design of fire safety and mock/reduced-scale fire tests in a tunnel.
