wood in the Cone Calorimeter. Four species of wood were exposed to a range of incident
heat fluxes up to 75kW/m2 with their grain oriented either parallel or perpendicular to the
incident heat flux. The time to ignition measurements obtained from the Cone Calorimeter
were used to derive characteristic properties of the materials. These properties were used as
input to a one-dimensional integral model that describes the transient pyrolysis of a semi …
