ABSTRACT
 
A general correlation for Thomas` scaling law on the flame shapes of natural fires was derived. In addition, the relationships between the heat-absorption rate qin and the pool diameter D were analytically represented in form of qin = C1 / D + C2[1 – exp(-C3DC4)] and the involved adjustable parameters were determined for gasoline, kerosene and diesel oil pool fires. On the basis of the qin - D relationships and the general correlation for Thomas` scaling law thus determined, the effective flame temperatures Te for gasoline and kerosene pool fires were computed. It is found that Te is varied from about 700 to 900 K and that Te becomes constant with an increase in D.
