An introduction to mathematical fire modeling /

Show other versions (1)

Introduces mathematical compartment fire modeling through a simple mathematical model that provides an engineering approximation of the time-varying conditions created by a fire in an enclosure that may be subject to hot-layer venting. The second edition uses a completely new model called FIRM. The...
