• Archive: Contains a unique description of a complete set of parameters applicable to the entire field of fire safety engineeringPresents diagrams and formulas which facilitate fire safety engineering calculationsOffers new models for pre- and post-flashover compartment firesThis book provides a consistent scientific background to engineering calculation methods applicable to analyses of materials reaction-to-fire, as well as fire resistance of structures.
• Several new and unique formulas and diagrams which facilitate calculations are presented.
• It focuses on problems involving high temperature conditions and, in particular, defines boundary conditions in a suitable way for calculations.
• A large portion of the book is devoted to boundary conditions and measurements of thermal exposure by radiation and convection.
• The concepts and theories of adiabatic surface temperature and measurements of temperature with plate thermometers are thoroughly explained.Also presented is a renewed method for modeling compartment fires, with the resulting simple and accurate prediction tools for both pre- and post-flashover fires.
