Comparative Study of Temperature Distribution Characteristics of Ceiling Jets at Center and Edge Regions in Corridors

This study analyzed the temperature characteristics of ceiling jets in corridor spaces by conducting experiments with varying heat release rates and ceiling heights and comparing the results with predictive equations based on the energy conservation equation. The smoke layer formed at a lower height...

description This study analyzed the temperature characteristics of ceiling jets in corridor spaces by conducting experiments with varying heat release rates and ceiling heights and comparing the results with predictive equations based on the energy conservation equation. The smoke layer formed at a lower height than in open spaces, and the ceiling jet temperature near the wall was higher than that along the central axis. Predictions were generally accurate at a ceiling height of 3.0 m but were overestimated at 1.5 m and underestimated at 4.5 m. The temperature attenuation trend aligned with Oka’s equations, though the temperature near the wall remained higher.
