N2  - Post-flashover fires in shipboard spaces have pronounced effects on adjacent spaces due to highly conductive boundaries. A model has been developed which predicts the thermal environment in such spaces. The model is based on radiative and convective heat transfer involving the hot wall (common boundary between post-flashover and adja cent space), the cold walls, and a gray gas. This theoretical description is reduced to a set of simultaneous non-linear equations that are solved by a Newton-Rapheson method. Experimental data provided the input function for the hot wall, and the model predictions for the gas temperature and the cold wall temperature have been compared with the experimental data. The comparisons shown are conservative, but representative, in accor dance with modeling assumptions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
