Download or read book Large Outdoor Fire Dynamics written by Keisuke Himoto and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-12-22 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large Outdoor Fire Dynamics provides the essential knowledge for the hazard evaluation of large outdoor fires, including wildland, WUI (wildland-urban interface), and urban fires. The spread of outdoor fires can be viewed as a successive occurrence of physical and chemical processes – solid fuel combustion, heat transfer to surrounding combustibles, and ignition of heated combustibles – which are explained herein. Engineering equations frequently used in practical hazard analyses are derived and then integrated to implement a computational code predicting fire spread among discretely distributed combustibles. This code facilitates learning the procedure of hazard evaluation for large outdoor fires. Chapters cover underlying assumptions for analyzing fire spread behavior in large outdoor fires, namely, wind conditions near the ground surface and fundamentals of heat transfer; the physical mechanism of fire spread in and between combustibles, specifically focusing on fire plumes (both reacting and non-reacting) and firebrand dispersal; and the spatial modeling of 3D objects and developing the computational framework for predicting fire spread. The book is ideal for engineers, researchers, and graduate students in fire safety as well as mechanical engineering, civil engineering, disaster management, safety engineering, and planning. Companion source codes are available online.

Download or read book In It for the Long Haul written by John Toomey and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to explore and reveal how people can turn FIFO into an extraordinary experience. Along the journey, it explores the lifestyle, the potential causes of mental illness, the many opportunities for great achievement and happiness, and a formula for making it work. Everyone who engages in FIFO work, whether it be for a few years or an entire career, gets to make the most of it and to make it a most loved part of their life.In the FIFO system, companies transport workers to and from the site in great comfort, they provide comfortable and private accommodation, plenty of freshly prepared food, recreational facilities, internet access, excellent pay, perhaps the safest working conditions in the world and they are governed by fair and equitable laws.On the other hand, FIFO work does not guarantee long term job security. Markets fluctuate, mineral deposits, oil reserves diminish, large infrastructure projects finish, economies often slow down, and demand often changes. Some projects have a definite length, like construction jobs, while others are subject to these oft-unpredictable factors.All of this means that working FIFO can be unpredictable and lacking in security. It can mean months off work with no pay, losing money on real estate investments and being forced to relocate to different parts of the country. It can be a rocky ride.This book looks at the "nitty gritty" of FIFO whilst keeping an eye on a much bigger picture. It helps the reader prepare for FIFO work and life so that they can optimise their experience, whether they are going solo, leaving a family, or if they are the partner or family member left at home.
