Download or read book An Introduction to Fire Dynamics written by Dougal Drysdale and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drysdale's book is by far the most comprehensive - everyone in the office has a copy...now including me. It holds just about everything you need to know about fire science." (Review of An Introduction to Fire Dynamics, 2nd Edition) After 25 years as a bestseller, Dougal Drysdale's classic introduction has been brought up-to-date and expanded to incorporate the latest research and experimental data. Essential reading for all involved in the field from undergraduate and postgraduate students to practising fire safety engineers and fire prevention officers, An Introduction to Fire Dynamics is unique in that it addresses the fundamentals of fire science and fire dynamics, thus providing the scientific background necessary for the development of fire safety engineering as a professional discipline. An Introduction to Fire Dynamics Includes experimental data relevant to the understanding of fire behaviour of materials; Features numerical problems with answers illustrating the quantitative applications of the concepts presented; Extensively course-tested at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and the University of Edinburgh, and widely adopted throughout the world; Will appeal to all those working in fire safety engineering and related disciplines.

Download or read book SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering written by Morgan J. Hurley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-07 with total page 3510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and significantly expanded, the fifth edition of this classic work offers both new and substantially updated information. As the definitive reference on fire protection engineering, this book provides thorough treatment of the current best practices in fire protection engineering and performance-based fire safety. Over 130 eminent fire engineers and researchers contributed chapters to the book, representing universities and professional organizations around the world. It remains the indispensible source for reliable coverage of fire safety engineering fundamentals, fire dynamics, hazard calculations, fire risk analysis, modeling and more. With seventeen new chapters and over 1,800 figures, the this new edition contains: Step-by-step equations that explain engineering calculations Comprehensive revision of the coverage of human behavior in fire, including several new chapters on egress system design, occupant evacuation scenarios, combustion toxicity and data for human behavior analysis Revised fundamental chapters for a stronger sense of context Added chapters on fire protection system selection and design, including selection of fire safety systems, system activation and controls and CO2 extinguishing systems Recent advances in fire resistance design Addition of new chapters on industrial fire protection, including vapor clouds, effects of thermal radiation on people, BLEVEs, dust explosions and gas and vapor explosions New chapters on fire load density, curtain walls, wildland fires and vehicle tunnels Essential reference appendices on conversion factors, thermophysical property data, fuel properties and combustion data, configuration factors and piping properties “Three-volume set; not available separately”

Download or read book Fire Retardant Materials written by A. Richard Horrocks and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2001-02-16 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This authoritative reference work will provide a comprehensive source of information for readers concerned with the highly diverse subject of fire retardance. The emphasis is on the burning behaviour and flame retarding properties of polymeric materials. It covers combustion, flame retardants, smoke and toxic products generally and goes on to concentrate on more material-specific aspects of combustion in relation to textiles, composites and bulk polymers. A wide range of fire retardant materials are covered including research in the new field of nanocomposites."--Knovel.

Download or read book The Role of Aircraft Panel Materials in Cabin Fires and Their Properties Final Report written by J. G. Quintiere and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyses were performed on full-scale aircraft post-crash fire data. In particular the rate and involvement of aircraft wall and ceiling panels are examined. For two full-scale experiments the energy release rate of the interior cabin furnishings were estimated and an estimate of ceiling ignition computed. Also an extensive set of measurements, by several advanced state-of-the-art laboratory flammability devices, was conducted for fire aircraft panel materials. The measurements included piloted ignition by thermal radiation, energy release rate, combustion produce generation rates, lateral flame spread rates in a vertical orientation, flame heights and their heat transfer to a contiguous vertical surface, and for one devices results were obtained at conditions of oxygen concentrations lower than normal air. Comparison among the results for each device show good consistency of the ignition data, but only fair agreement for energy release rate data. Keywords: Aircraft interior panels; Experimental analysis; Material fire data; Post-crash fires; Theoretical modeling.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 1298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities and Their Vital Systems asks basic questions about the longevity, utility, and nature of urban infrastructures; analyzes how they grow, interact, and change; and asks how, when, and at what cost they should be replaced. Among the topics discussed are problems arising from increasing air travel and airport congestion; the adequacy of water supplies and waste treatment; the impact of new technologies on construction; urban real estate values; and the field of "telematics," the combination of computers and telecommunications that makes money machines and national newspapers possible.
