While doing so, she heard a pop back in her living room (t-200s. It was later concluded this pop was a sprinkler head that had an activation temperature of 87C and an RTI of 50m-s. However, the system had not been maintained, so no water flowed through the sprinkler. During your initial investigation, you measured the sprinkler head to have a distance of 3m from the centerline of the fire on the coffee table where Sheila said it started. You also can make the assumption that the fire is still completely on the coffee table, and the coffee table top is 0.3m off the ground. If the ambient temperature of Sheila's home was 20C, calculate the heat release rate at t=200 susing Alpert's correlation
