Which statement accurately reflects the flow pattern generated by a fire in a closed room?
Group of answer choices
The buoyant fire plume rises to midway between floor and ceiling, falls to the floor, and travels along the floor toward cooler temperature walls.
The buoyant fire plume rises to the ceiling and travels outward until reaching adjacent walls, travels down walls to the floor, and is caught in convective flow currents being re-entrained into the flames.
The fire plume rises to the ceiling and travels outward until it meets a wall, then gases and smoke begin to travel back toward the flames in a 45-degree angle.
The fire plume first creates a convective flow of air from the ceiling that forces fire gases and effluent down along the floor. Gases then move along the floor toward walls and travel upward.
