" Drysdale's book is by far the most comprehensive-everyone in the office has a copy... now
including me. It holds just about everything you need to know about fire science."(Review of …

Forecasting building fire development and critical fire events in real-time is of great
significance for firefighting and rescue operations. This work proposes an artificial …

A simple procedure is presented for estimating room temperature and the likelihood of the
occurrence of flashover in an enclosure. The engineer can use the results for quantitative …

Fire behavior is examined in typical building compartments. Only compartments having
window vents and ceiling heights of typically 3 m are generally considered. Approximate …

An introduction for postgraduate and undergraduate students to the chemical and physical
principles of flame and combustion phenomena. This book should be of interest to …

Serious fires involving fatalities as well as injuries, frequently arise in buildings where many
people are gathered, and whenever they have occurred in hotels and other hospitality …

Flashover is the ultimate event in a room fire signaling the final untenability for room
occupants and greatly increased hazard to other building spaces. Despite this importance …

The first part of the paper describes briefly the calculation of the rate of heat release required
to cause flashover in a compartment. It is possible from theory to suggest that the thermal …

A series of tests has been performed in a model of a typical passenger train compartment
(railcar). The tests were carried out on a scale of 1–10. The main purpose of the tests was to …

Real-time prediction of flashover in a compartment fire is of great significance for rescue.
This paper investigated a CNN-LSTM neural network to predict the flashover based on the …
