Local fuel enthalpy is used as the acceptance criterion for this design-basis event and can also be used to estimate fuel damage for the purpose of determining radiological consequences.
As a head of design, the cogeneration targeting is necessary to optimal design of site utility in the process industries to estimate fuel demand, steam generation, steam used as well as production of heat and power.
The top-bottom approach is well-justified in ships, as it is commonly sought to estimate fuel use over mission profiles early in the design process [69].
We used fuels information from plots outside the fire to estimate fuel loading in treated and untreated stands before wildfire.
Land cover classes from the CORINE land cover data set for Europe (Nunes de Lima 2005) were used to estimate fuel deposition rate values at a 0.2° resolution (see Appendix and Figure 2).
To estimate fuel utilization, we used the respiratory quotient (RQ), which is a dimensionless ratio comparing the volume of carbon dioxide an organism produces to the volume of oxygen consumed over a given time (RQ = VCO2/VO2) (Johnston et al., 2006).
