Book Description
An Introduction to Fire Dynamics Second Edition Dougal Drysdale University of Edinburgh, UK Fire Safety Engineering, identified in the original edition as 'a relatively new discipline', has since grown significantly in stature, as Fire Safety Engineers around the world begin to apply their skills to complex issues that defy solution by the old 'prescriptive' approach to fire safety. This second edition has the same structure as the first highly successful text, but has been updated with the latest research results. Fire processes are discussed and quantified in terms of the mechanisms of heat transfer and fluid flow. Problems addressed include: * The conditions necessary for ignition and steady burning of combustible materials to occur * How large a fire has to become before fire detectors and sprinkler heads will operate * The circumstances that can lead to flashover in a compartment This book is unique in that it identifies fire science and fire dynamics and provides the scientific background necessary for the development of fire safety engineering as a professional discipline. It is essential reading for all those involved in this wide ranging field, from Fire Prevention Officers to Consulting Engineers, whether involved in problems of fire risk assessment, fire safety design, or fire investigation. It will also be of considerable interest and value to research scientists working in building design, fire physics and chemistry.
Ventilation of Buildings
Author: H.B. AwbiPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134489625
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 537
Book Description
Hazim Awbi's Ventilation of Buildings has become established as the definitive text on the subject. This new, thoroughly revised, edition builds on the basic principles of the original text drawing in the results of considerable new research in the field. A new chapter on natural ventilation is also added and recent developments in ventilation concepts and room air distribution are also considered. The text is intended for the practitioner in the building services industry, the architect, the postgraduate student undertaking courses or research in HVAC, building services engineering, or building environmental engineering, and the undergraduate studying building services as a major subject. Readers are assumed to be familiar with the basic principles of fluid flow and heat transfer and some of the material requires more advanced knowledge of partial differential equations which describe the turbulent flow and heat transfer processes of fluids. The book is both a presentation of the practical issues that are needed for modern ventilation system design and a survey of recent developments in the subject
Ventilation and Airflow in Buildings
Author: Claude-Alain RouletPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136549099
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Energy efficiency in buildings requires, among other things, that ventilation be appropriately dimensioned: too much ventilation wastes energy, and insufficient ventilation leads to poor indoor air quality and low comfort. Studies have shown that ventilation systems seldom function according to their commissioned design. They have also shown that airflow measurement results are essential in improving a ventilation system. This key handbook explains why ventilation in buildings should be measured and describes how to measure it, giving applied examples for each measurement method. The book will help building physicists and ventilation engineers to properly commission ventilation systems and appropriately diagnose ventilation problems throughout the life of a building. Drawing on over 20 years of experience and the results of recent international research projects, this is the definitive guide to diagnosing airflow patterns within buildings.

Sistemas de prevención y protección contra incendios en instalaciones, centros y edificaciones
Author: Carlos Manuel Fernández GonzálezPublisher: Editorial Reus
ISBN: 8429021558
Category : Political Science
Languages : es
Pages : 232
Book Description
Los incendios en edificaciones se producen con demasiada habitualidad en nuestro entorno, pero desafortunadamente este fenómeno solo tiene visibilidad mediática cuando se convierte en una tragedia de gran magnitud. Casos como los ocurridos en la Catedral de Notre Dame, el Edificio Greenfell o el Windsor ayudan, al menos durante un tiempo, a sensibilizar a la sociedad sobre la importancia de la prevención y protección ante estos sucesos. Los profesionales de los servicios de bomberos y emergencias realizan una encomiable labor, que alcanzaría cotas más altas de repercusión si la «Cultura de Seguridad» y la concienciación en materia de «Protección Civil» fuera compartida por todos los ciudadanos. En este marco, las Fuerzas y Cuerpos de Seguridad, el personal de seguridad privada y los criminólogos también desempeñan un importante rol cuando, desarrollando sus funciones de seguridad en el sentido amplio del concepto y analizando o estudiando el fenómeno, ponen a disposición de las autoridades competentes a los autores o responsables de los mismos. Este texto pretende proporcionar a estos profesionales las herramientas que les faciliten una visión global de la legislación básica aplicable y una guía metodológica teórico-práctica que les permita alcanzar de la mejor manera sus objetivos.
