Summary: "Enclosure fire dynamics, second edition explores the science of enclosure fires, and how they cause changes in the environment. The authors discuss mechanisms for 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. The text provides readers with the skills needed to solve a range of engineering equations and models. Enclosure fire dynamics, second edition will enhance the knowledge of fire protection engineers, researchers, and investigators, and help build a strong foundation for engineering students"-- Provided by publisher
