Enclosure Fire Dynamics

Enclosure Fire Dynamics provides a complete description of enclosure fires and how the outbreak of a fire in a compartment causes changes in the environment. The authors offer a clear presentation of the dominant mechanisms controlling enclosure fires and develop simple analytical relationships useful in designing buildings for fire safety. They show readers how to derive engineering equations from first principles and show how the resulting equations compare to experimental data. The details and the approach offered by this text provide readers with a confidence in and appreciation of the applicability of a wide range of commonly used engineering equations and models.
