Tunnel Fire Ventilation Calculations

The document provides preliminary calculations for tunnel fire ventilation for a project involving a 2000m long tunnel with 3 lanes. It calculates that a fire rated at 10MW located 300m from the exit portal would require a ventilation system capable of producing a flow velocity of 6.89m/s to remove 11,532N of thrust, which could be achieved by installing either 14 conventional jet fans spaced 80.42m apart, or 11 MoJet fans spaced 40.21m apart.
