Question: Q 1 : [ 2 5 marks ] A classroom has the dimensions of 1 0 m long, 8 m wide and 6 m high

Q1: [25 marks]
A classroom has the dimensions of 10 m long, 8 m wide and 6 m high and an open window of 1.5 m long and 2 m high. A methanol bottle breaks to form a \(2-\mathrm{m}\) diameter pool fire. The initial room temperature is \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), and the heat of combustion of methanol or wood is \(22\mathrm{MJ}/\mathrm{kg}\),
(a) What is the heat release rate of the pool fire?
(5 marks)
(b) Can this pool fire always trigger the heat detector (RTI \(=120\mathrm{~m}^{1/\mathrm{s}^{1/2}}\)) with a threshold temperature of \(65^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)?
(6 marks)
(c) If this fire is 1 m away from the detector, how long it triggers the heat detector? (7 marks)
(d) If there are twenty \(25-\mathrm{kg}\) sofas in the room, and flashover occurs in 5 min , what is the total burning duration?
(7 marks)
