TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Combustion characteristics of Sitka Spruce litter by microcalorimetry JO - Journal of fire sciences A1 - Jones, J. C. SP - 481 EP - 487 VL - 15 IS - 6 N2 - A sample of Sitka Spruce litter has been examined in a microcalorimeter at temperatures up to 58 degrees C, and kinetic parameters deduced from the results in a way which is explained step by step. The kinetic parameters were then used to predict the ignition temperature of the material in a field situation. Input to this calculation includes measured heat-release rate at incipient ignition of a different litter, reported independently.
