Pyrolysis - Gasification and Heat Release Rate Predictions of Heated Solid Specimens in the OSU Apparatus
ASME 2025 Heat Transfer Summer Conference

Abstract
Abstract
A prediction model is being developed to describe the pyrolysis - gasification (release of gases exposed to external heat) and the heat release rate due to the heating of aircraft cabin materials in the OSU (Ohio State University) apparatus. The OSU heat release rate apparatus is a gasification (followed by combustion) test instrument designated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for testing the heat release rate of aircraft cabin materials. The OSU apparatus is used to expose aircraft interior cabin materials to an incident radiant heat flux of 35 kW/m2. This test determines if the material complies with FAR 25.853 requirements. The research results include transient solutions of the flow-field variables (velocity, temperature, and pressure) within the fluid domain of the OSU apparatus using ANSYS FLUENT. For the ongoing gasification and combustion simulations of the specimens, a reduced computational domain has been considered that will include the effect of the radiant heaters (as found in the specimen holder within the OSU apparatus bounding walls.)
