Description for Temperature Calculation in Fire Safety Engineering
Hardback. Providing a consistent scientific background to engineering calculation methods for analyses of materials' reaction-to-fire and fire resistance of structures, this book presents some new and unique formulas and diagrams to facilitate calculations, focusing on problems involving high temperature conditions, and boundary conditions for calculations. Num Pages: 243 pages, 124 black & white illustrations, 24 colour illustrations, 20 black & white tables, biogra. BIC Classification: TNKF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 166 x 243 x 20. Weight in Grams: 560.
This 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 ... Read more
