by Frank P. Incropera (Author), David P. DeWitt (Author), Theodore L. Bergman (Author), Adrienne S. Lavine (Author) Noted for its readability, comprehensiveness and relevancy, the new fifth edition of this bestselling book provides readers with an accessible examination of the heat transfer field. They’ll gain a better understanding of the terminology and physical principles for any process or system involving heat transfer. And they’ll find out how to develop representative models of real processes and systems, and draw conclusions concerning process/systems design or performance from the attendant analysis.Paperback – November 21, 2014
by Laura Serra Saurina (Author) This book presents different methodologies to model the occurrence of wildfires and evaluate how they are distributed in space and time. All the methods developed in this work are included in the theory of point processes and, in particular, they belong to the theory of point processes with marks. The book is structured in three main parts. First, there is an initial chapter where the theory on fires is introduced. Then, the second chapter describes the methodology used. Finally, the results are exposed in the third chapter. The methodology used through this book have been applied to the wildfires occurred in Catalonia during the period 1994-2011. The results may be useful in fire management decision-making and planning and so, may contribute to the prediction and prevention of wildfires.2nd Edition
by James G. Quintiere (Author)
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, and heat flux as a damage variable. Cases, examples, problems, selected color illustrations and review of mathematics help students in fire safety and investigation understand fire from a scientific point of view.6th Edition
by Frank P. Incropera (Author), David P. DeWitt (Author), Theodore L. Bergman (Author), Adrienne S. Lavine (Author) This bestselling book in the field provides a complete introduction to the physical origins of heat and mass transfer. Noted for its crystal clear presentation and easy-to-follow problem solving methodology, Incropera and Dewitt's systematic approach to the first law develops reader confidence in using this essential tool for thermal analysis. Readers will learn the meaning of the terminology and physical principles of heat transfer as well as how to use requisite inputs for computing heat transfer rates and/or material temperatures.5th Edition
by Irvin Glassman (Author), Richard A. Yetter (Author), Nick G. Glumac (Author) Throughout its previous four editions, Combustion has made a very complex subject both enjoyable and understandable to its student readers and a pleasure for instructors to teach. With its clearly articulated physical and chemical processes of flame combustion and smooth, logical transitions to engineering applications, this new edition continues that tradition. Greatly expanded end-of-chapter problem sets and new areas of combustion engineering applications make it even easier for students to grasp the significance of combustion to a wide range of engineering practice, from transportation to energy generation to environmental impacts. Combustion engineering is the study of rapid energy and mass transfer usually through the common physical phenomena of flame oxidation. It covers the physics and chemistry of this process and the engineering applications―including power generation in internal combustion automobile engines and gas turbine engines. Renewed concerns about energy efficiency and fuel costs, along with continued concerns over toxic and particulate emissions, make this a crucial area of engineering
