Jet fires are a type of dangerous fire caused by the sudden release of flammable materials. In this work, propane was used as fuel and released through a 7.15mm and 9.8 mm circular nozzle with the exit velocities were set ranging between 27 and 65 m/s. The data of this study are compared against theoretical measurement and prediction using previously suggested correlation for projected flame length and flame extension length. It was determined, the projected flame length gives a good prediction by using theoretical measurement while for the prediction of flame extension length, an elliptical shape assumption was suitable to be used after impinging point for a horizontal buoyant jet fire. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
