Volume Fraction and Temperature Measurements of 30 cm Acetone, Ethanol, Methanol, Pool Fires

This dataset documents a series of time-averaged gas species measurements made along the centerline of methanol, ethanol, and acetone pool fires steadily burning in a quiescent environment. All gas species measurements are 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. Soot mass fractions are simultaneously measured during the gas sampling process. The gas species volume and soot mass fractions are compared at different heights within the fire and across a variety of different fuels. Other fire parameters are measured as well, including time-averaged temperature measurements and mass burning rates. The dataset provided here are CSV files listing the volume fractions and temperature measurements made in 30 cm diameter Acetone, Ethanol, and Methanol pool fires. A technical note (https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.TN.2082) describes the collection and analysis of these datasets in further detail.
