Abstract: Using the conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy, a theoretical analysis of buoyancy driven flow and heat transfer for a ventilated control-volume, with an internal heat-source, has been made. The special case of stoichiometric combustion in a naturally-ventilated brick walled room, with a single rectangular opening, has been used to demonstrate the numerical calculation procedure for the prediction of the histories of the fire temperature, gas flow rate, fuel burn rate, fire power and boundary-wall temperature. The analysis may be extended for more complex space geometries and wall structures; a typical case being a railway carriage with a composite wall.
