Fire plumes described

If we had significant momentum or mass flow rate at the origin, the plume would resort to a jet and the initial momentum would control the entrainment as described by Equation (10.3). This jet behavior will have consequences for the behavior of flame height compared to the flame height from natural fires with negligible initial momentum. 

Certainly, the EFs for this type of fire mostly depend on the temperature, the development of the smoke plume, the content of oxygen, and the quality of crude oil and its derivatives, so that the higher PAH emission is possible. This dilemma remains for every trial to assess the PAH transport and accumulation in the environment, and only representative POP measurements in the environmental compartments, where their half-lives allowed these investigations in the post-war period, could describe a realistic state. The POP measurements are organized in the EMEP network with intercomparison between laboratories [91], but this network does not cover South-Eastern Europe.
