Language: English Publisher: Boca Raton CRC Press c2022Edition: 2nd edDescription: xvi, 368p.; 26cmISBN: 9781138058668Subject(s): Engineering and technology | Construction engineering | Fireproof construction | Enclosure firesDDC classification: 693.82 KAR/E Online resources: Publisher's URL Summary: Enclosure Fire Dynamics, Second Edition explores the science of enclosure fires and how they cause changes in the environment of a building on fire. The authors discuss mechanisms controlling enclosure fires and how to develop analytical relationships useful in designing buildings for fire safety. Derivation of equations from first principles is shown, stating assumptions and showing comparisons to experimental data, giving calculated examples for clarity. The text provides readers with the skills needed to solve a range of engineering equations and problems.
