Combustion Fundamentals of Fire (Combustion treatise series) - Hardcover
Because of its complexity, the engineer is often forced to resort to empiricism in his treatment of fire. However, fire science has been developing rapidly. This book provides, for the first time in one cover, a state-of-the-art treatise on fire devoted to the combusion science. Written by established authorities in their field, the authors place a special emphasis on the more fundamental and theoretic aspects on the topic to illuminate our current understanding. These include fire science, fire safety science, combusion flames, buoyant plumes, building science, heat and mass transfer and fluid dynamics. Features: * Presents a state-of-the-art treatise on fire science * Consolidates our current inderstanding of this very complex problem * Provides a solid foundation to a rapidly developing engineering profession * Includes applications of computer simulation to design and fire investigation
