“…The combustion behaviors of porous fuels has been investigated for many years, and considerable achievements have been comprehensively applied to understand the development of wildland forest fires. Pine needles [32,33] and shredded papers [23,34] are commonly-used materials to investigate the flame spread of porous fuel. Among all the examinations, there seems to be a consensus that the increasing bulk density will impose restriction on the burning intensity.…”

“…The current NC-isopropanol mixture is assigned to be a form of porous fuel. Combustion behavior of porous fuels is different from compact solid ones, and the burning rate directly depends on the net heat flux to the fuel surface and their decomposition properties [23]. For porous fuel fires at windless and aclinal conditions, previous researchers [24,25] proposed an empirical model for predicting the spread rate over a homogeneous fuel bed, i. e.…”

This paper experimentally examined the effect of bulk density on the combustion behaviour of nitrocellulose with isopropanol humectant. Experimental findings reveal that when the bulk density varies within 120.5∼171.5 kg m−3, the fuel regression rate in the quasi‐steady stage changes slightly, with an average value of 0.41 mm s−1, while it will decrease visibly as the bulk density increases within 171.5∼209.7 kg m−3. The overall regression rate follows the similar variation trend. The measurements of thermocouples mounted inside the sample also support the findings above, and further indicate the flame temperature of nitrocellulose‐isopropanol is about 600∼800 °C. Considering the measured radiative heat flux and flame height determined from flame intermittent contour, the radiation fraction of nitrocellulose‐isopropanol is quantitatively ascertained, i. e. roughly equivalent to 0.3. It is expected that the findings could provide insights into the fire risks of nitrocellulose products with different bulk densities and further offer guidance on their safety management.
