Editorial Reviews

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 first edition was authored by David Birk in 1991. The CD-ROM contains three QBasic programs. Annotation c.
