Abstract
The objective of this project is to manufacture an experimental setup to evaluate the performance of wildland fire chemicals. A custom built thermal calorimeter, known as the “Thermal Canister,” will be fabricated to measure the heat released during the combustion of the fuel. The heat release rate will be used as the measure for the purpose of product evaluation and performance.
