Title	Effect of heating rate on char yield from forest fuels
Creator	Susott, Ronald A.
Contributor	Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station (Ogden, Utah) ;<br> Forest Service-U.S. Department of Agriculture
Description	Char yield at 500° C has been measured for 40 typical forest fuels, including foliage, wood, small stems, and bark. The effect of changing heating rates was determined from 20° C/min to about 1000° C/min, to simulate a range of burning conditions. The average of all fuels was 26.7 percent char at 20° C/min, decreasing to 23.9 percent at the highest rate. Each of the fuel types gave a similar small decrease in char yield as heating rate increased. Relative char yields for individual fuels, which can be used to compare flaming or glowing combustion tendencies, are nearly independent of heating rate.
