Principles of Fire Behavior and Combustion
Based on the National Fire Academy’s Fire Behavior and Combustion model curriculum. Without a comprehensive grasp of how fires start and spread, informed decisions on how to best control and extinguish fires can not be made. Principles of Fire Behavior and Combustion, Fourth Edition will provide readers with a thorough understanding of the chemical and physical properties of flammable materials and fire, the combustion process, and the latest in suppression and extinguishment. The Fourth Edition of this time-tested resource is the most current and accurate source of fire behavior information available to fire science students and on-the-job fire fighters today.
Principles of Fire Behavior and Combustion
"Principles of Fire Behavior and Combustion covers the fundamentals of fire chemistry and physics, ignition, fire growth and spread, smoke generation and movement, safety hazards, fire suppression, and computer modeling of fires. Richard developed a new table of contents for this edition. This is a FESHE Bachelor Level Non-Core title for C0257"--
W.D. Gann Interview by Richard D. Wyckoff: The Law of Vibration Governs Stocks, Forex and Commodities Movements
It appears to be a fact that Mr. W. D. Gann has developed an entirely new idea as to the principles governing market movements. He bases his operations upon certain natural laws which, though existing since the world began, have only in recent years been subjected to the will of man and added to the list of so-called modern discoveries. We have asked Mr. Gann for an outline of his work, and have secured some remarkable evidence as to the results obtained there from. W. D. Gann's description of his experience and methods is given herewith. It should be read with recognition of the established fact that Mr. Gann's predictions have proved correct in a large majority of instances...
Smoke Component Yields from Room-Scale Fire Tests
This report presents the methodology for and results from a series of room-scale fire tests to produce data on the yields of toxic products in both pre-flashover and post-flashover fires. The combustibles examined were: a sofa made of upholstered cushions on a steel frame, particleboard bookcases with a laminated finish, polyvinyl chloride sheet, and household electric cable. They were burned in a room with a long adjacent corridor. The yields of CO2, CO, HCl, HCN, and carbonaceous soot were determined. Other toxicants (e.g., NO2, formaldehyde and acrolein) were not found; concentrations below the detection limits were shown to be of limited toxicological importance relative to the detected ...
International Study of the Sublethal Effects of Fire Smoke on Survivability and Health (SEFS)
Fire smoke toxicity has been a recurring theme for fire safety professionals for over four decades. There especially continue to be difficulty and controversy in assessing and addressing the contribution of the sublethal effects of smoke in hazard and risk analyses. The Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and NFPA have begun a private/public fire research initiative, the "International Study of the Sublethal Effects of Fire Smoke on Survival and Health" (SEFS) to provide scientific information on these effects for public policy makers. This report on the first phase of the project estimates the magnitude and impact of sublethal exposures to fire smoke on the U.S. population, provides the best available lethal and incapacitating toxic potency values for the smoke from commercial products, determines the potential for various sizes of fires to produce smoke yields that could result in sublethal health effects.
