Enclosure Fire Dynamics

Enclosure Fire Dynamics offers an in-depth examination of compartment fires and their dynamic behavior within enclosed spaces. As technological advances impose more complex challenges in fire safety design and regulation, this work provides a critical educational tool for fire protection engineers. Drawing on extensive research and practical expertise, the authors present a thorough exploration of how fires develop in confined areas and the resulting environmental transformations. Clear and methodical in its approach, the book guides readers through the derivation of fundamental engineering equations, emphasizing the assumptions made and comparing theoretical outcomes with experimental evidence. This text not only clarifies dominant mechanisms in enclosure fire behavior but also equips professionals, researchers, and engineering students with the analytical tools necessary to enhance fire safety in building design. Published in 1999 by Taylor & Francis Inc, this 336-page hardcover offers a robust foundation for advanced study and practical application in fire protection engineering.
