QUESTION 5 (5 POINTS) Due to a delay with the fire department getting water to the fire, the living room reaches flashover at t=500s. Using the Babrauskas correlation for heat release rate required for flashover, calculate the heat release rate at t=500s.

DESCRIPTION You are conducting a fire investigation on a single-family home. The fire began in the living room and eventually reached flashover. During your initial investigation, your measured the living room to be 6.1m wide by 6.Im long by 2.74m tall. A single vent was available to this room with a height of 2.44m and a width of 1 meter. The room was lined with 4 inch gypsum wall board. You are attempting to reconstruct the fire scene for fire modeling purposes. You need to develop a heat release rate curve based on the statements of the only witness to the fire. You want to create a heat release rate curve from initial ignition to flashover. Read the following witness statements and develop a heat release rate curve below.
