Download or read book PRINCIPLES OF FIRE SAFETY ENGINEERING written by DAS, AKHIL KUMAR and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire Safety is the science of fire and the means of protection against it. Being multidisciplinary in nature, the subject is closely related to chemical engineering, building services, electrical, electronics, structural and civil engineering and industrial engineering. There is a dearth of books on this subject, and therefore, the author aims to provide readers with a lucidly written, comprehensive text explaining the fundamentals of the fire process and means of protection. Comprising twelve chapters, this well-illustrated book with data tables begins with the introduction of the subject and then proceeds to explain fire process, its chemistry, heat and temperature in fire, hydraulics, active and passive fire protection systems, risk management and insurance, and finally investigations and reconstructions of fire incidents. The book appends useful information on fire safety including cases to explain the causes of fire, Indian Standards on fire safety, explosion and properties of some flammable materials.

Download or read book Industrial Fire Control Concepts written by Jeffrey Moore and published by . This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Fire Control Concepts is a facility fire protection course in book format. For more than sixty years, between 1946 and 2007, Industrial Risk Insurers offered an intensive week-long industrial fire protection course in their Hartford (CT) Loss Prevention Training Center and at other facilities worldwide. Thousands of facility managers, plant engineers, safety supervisors, insurance loss control engineers, government officials, and many others benefitted from the course. Although this course concentrated on fundamental fire control concepts, participants often felt like they were drinking from a fire hose. They left the course with a thick binder full of handouts, articles, notes, references, and other information they could put to immediate use at their facilities. A common refrain from participants was, "Why isn't all this information available in a book someplace?" In 1988 the first edition of Industrial Fire Control Concepts attempted to fill this need. Recognizing that many individuals responsible for facility fire protection decisions have no formal fire protection training, this third edition continues the mission of providing a foundation in fire safety concepts allowing the development and implementation of effective site-specific fire protection and fire control strategies. In this content-rich, heavily illustrated book, you will learn the: ? scope of the fire problem and the often-ignored lessons of past industrial fire disasters? basic concepts behind the development and spread of a fire? holistic systems approach to facility fire safety and fire control? operation, application, and limitations of various fire protection systems and features? necessity of a properly arranged fire protection water supply system? management programs necessary for an effective facility fire control program? special fire control concerns of information technology (IT) operations, warehousing and storage, flammable and combustible liquids, and combustible dust The text contains many practical fire safety concepts that you can use immediately. Throughout the text, conversations with the "Wise Old Fire Protection Engineer" provide valuable information addressing a myriad of common fire protection and fire risk management questions and concerns.

Download or read book Fire Fighting Pumping Systems at Industrial Facilities written by Dennis P. Nolan and published by William Andrew. This book was released on 2011-06-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written from the perspective of industrial users, this is the only book that describes how to install an effective firewater pumping system in a pragmatic and budget-conscious way rather than with purely the regulatory framework in mind. Based on the wide-ranging industrial experience of the author, this book is also the only one that deals with the particular risks and requirements of off-shore facilities. This book takes the reader beyond the prescriptive requirements of the fire code (NFPA, UL) and considers how to make the best choice of design for the budget available as well as how to ensure the other components of the pumping system and supporting services are optimized. The only alternative to guides written by regulatory enforcement bodies, this book is uniquely practical and objective – demonstrating how and why the standards need to be met Covers a wide range of industries, including those with exceptional requirements such as off-shore petroleum facilities and chemical plants Written by someone who has been responsible for the safety of large numbers of workers and billions of dollars worth of equipment, for those in similarly responsible positions
