MENG 4372 - Fire Dynamics

3 3 0

Course engages in the fundamentals of fire and combustion. Content includes thermodynamics of combustion, fire chemistry, premixed and diffusion flames, solid burning, ignition, plumes, heat release rate curves, and flame spread. On this basis, participants then develop models for compartmental fire behavior, pre and post flashover conditions and zone modeling. Theory and principles of rigid body kinematics, including forces, acceleration, work and energy, and impulse and momentum, in rectilinear and curvilinear systems.
