"This text covers the four forms of fire: diffusion flames, smoldering, spontaneous combustion, and premixed flames. Using a quantitative approach, the text introduces the scientific principles of fire behavior, with coverage of heat transfer, ignition, flame spread, fire plumes…
Using a quantitative approach, this text covers the scientific principles of fire behavior, such as heat transfer, ignition, flame spread, fire plumes, and heat flux. With an accessible approach to science and math, numerous case studies, and selected color illustrations, this t…
This engineering guide provides a methodology to define and quantify the fire development and ensuing conditions within the room of fire origin from the fires incipient stage through its full development. The approach presented in this guide was developed using the framework set…
Ongoing advances in arson detection tools and techniques increase the importance of scientific evidence in related court proceedings. In order to assemble an airtight case, investigators and forensic scientists need a resource that assists them in properly conducting the chemica…
