Abstract
Based on the fire point equation developed by Rasbash, a unified model of fire suppres sion is developed. The model includes both solid and gas phase effects including sur face cooling, gas phase dilution, chemical inhibition of flame reactions, and endothermic agent decomposition. The unified model is compared with available experimental data. The need for further experimental work is clearly indicated.The model can be used to evaluate the suppressibility of various materials and as aid to agent selection for a given material. In addition, the model can be used in the develop ment and evaluation of new suppression agents developed to replace existing environ mentally objectionable agents.
