Abstract
The paper discusses the use of experimental measurements to validate calculations of heat fluxes from pool fires. Flame emissivity and temperature and the effects of reflected radiation are treated in simple terms. Estimates of convection effects are made and a simple model of surface sooting proposed. More experimental measurements are required to confirm assumptions.
