The book provides an easy way to understand the fundamentals of heat transfer. The reader will acquire the ability to design and analyze heat exchangers. Without extensive derivation of the fundamentals, the latest correlations for heat transfer coefficients and their application are discussed. The following topics are presented – Steady state and transient heat conduction – Free and forced convection – Finned surfaces – Condensation and boiling – Radiation – Heat exchanger design – Problem-solving After introducing the basic terminology, the reader is made familiar with the different mechanisms of heat transfer. Their practical application is demonstrated in examples, which are available in the Internet as MathCad files for further use. Tables of material properties and formulas for their use in programs are included in the appendix. This book will serve as a valuable resource for both students and engineers in the industry.
The author’s experience indicates that students, after 40 lectures and exercises of 45 minutes based on this textbook, have proved capable of designing independently complex heat exchangers such as for cooling of rocket propulsion chambers, condensers and evaporators for heat pumps.

Fire-Bgc: A Mechanistic Ecological Process Model for Simulating Fire Succession on Coniferous Forest Landscapes of the Northern Rocky Mountains (Classic Reprint)

0 ReviewsPaperback – November 19, 2017
by Robert E. Keane (Author) Excerpt from Fire-Bgc: A Mechanistic Ecological Process Model for Simulating Fire Succession on Coniferous Forest Landscapes of the Northern Rocky Mountains The second portion of this paper details the application of fire-b'gc to a whitebark pine (pinus albicaulis) forest in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex (bmw C) of Montana. This simulation is referred to in this paper as the bmw C project. The objective was to investigate the consequences of management policies on the whitebark pine ecosystem dynamics in a spatial domain. Several management scenarios were simulated on a ha upper subalpine landscape in the southwestern part of the Swan Range of the bmwc to determine the response of whitebark pine to vari ous management actions. Many fire-bgc parameters presented in this paper were quantified specifically for this study area using field data collected by Keane and Morgan (1994) and Keane and others Ex amples of these parameters are provided throughout model documentation.

Forest Fires: Behavior and Ecological Effects
Rated 0 out of 5
0 Reviews1st Edition
by Edward A. Johnson (Editor), Kiyoko Miyanishi (Series Editor) Even before the myth of Prometheus, fire played a crucial ecological role around the world. Numerous plant communities depend on fire to generate species diversity in both time and space. Without fire such ecosystems would become sterile monocultures. Recent efforts to prohibit fire in fire dependent communities have contributed to more intense and more damaging fires. For these reasons, foresters, ecologists, land managers, geographers, and environmental scientists are interested in the behavior and ecological effects of fires. This book will be the first to focus on the chemistry and physics of fire as it relates to the ways in which fire behaves and the impacts it has on ecosystem function. Leading international contributors have been recruited by the editors to prepare a didactic text/reference that will appeal to both advanced students and practicing professionals.

by James G. Quintiere (Author)
Understanding fire dynamics and combustion is essential in fire safety engineering and in fire science curricula. Engineers and students involved in fire protection, safety and investigation need to know and predict how fire behaves to be able to implement adequate safety measures and hazard analyses. Fire phenomena encompass everything about the scientific principles behind fire behavior. Combining the principles of chemistry, physics, heat and mass transfer, and fluid dynamics necessary to understand the fundamentals of fire phenomena, this book integrates the subject into a clear discipline:
- Covers thermochemistry including mixtures and chemical reactions;
- Introduces combustion to the fire protection student;
- Discusses premixed flames and spontaneous ignition;
- Presents conservation laws for control volumes, including the effects of fire;
- Describes the theoretical bases for empirical aspects of the subject of fire;
- Analyses ignition of liquids and the importance of evaporation including heat and mass transfer;
- Features the stages of fire in compartments, and the role of scale modeling in fire.

Wildfire Modeling: Firebrands and Contiguous Fire Spread
Rated 0 out of 5
0 Reviews
by Eunmo Koo (Author)
Wildfires are complex phenomenon. To understand their spread mechanisms, physics based wildfire models are developed here. Discontinuous fire spread, i.e., spotting, is studied through a review of historical wind-driven and post-earthquake fires. Transport of various shapes of combusting firebrands is modeled using momentum balance on the firebrand. Firebrand trajectories are simulated in velocity and thermal fields generated by the FIRETEC wildfire model. Contiguous fire spread is modeled based on energy conservation and detailed heat transfer mechanisms. Predictions of contiguous fire spread rates are compared to laboratory experiments and prescribed fires.
