Ignition of fuel beds by cigarettes: a conceptual model to assess fuel bed moisture content and wind velocity effect on the ignition time and probability

A conceptual model based on the balance of energy in a system composed of a burning cigarette, ambient flow and a porous fuel bed is proposed to study the burning of a single cigarette and the process of fuel bed dehydration, pyrolysis and its eventual ignition or combustion extinction. Model predic...
