xv Preface The genesis of this book is early short courses given to fire investigators of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) starting in 1992 at the University of Maryland, College Park. The material grew into a book by Delmar Publishers in 1997 within their series on fire and rescue books. The book received wide usage among institutions for the education of firefighters in the United States. Internationally, that use continued with a Korean translation in 2004 and a Japanese translation in 2009. The book was maintained as the basis in fire investigation training courses offered by the ATF for both federal and state investigators. In early 2012, a new edition was submitted to Cengage (formerly Delmar), and it received positive reviews. Unfortunately, in July of that year, financial matters caused Cengage to terminate their fire series and this book. Now out of print, the book languished until 2015 when a fresh revision was prepared for Taylor & Francis Group/CRC Press. The new edition aims to improve the introduction of science and math to the student. An Appendix has been added to introduce or review principles of algebra and to explain the need for mathematics in science. The book has been significantly expanded with new information and improved explanations. More examples are presented in each chapter with many related to real-world incidents. New figures and graphical results have been added, and the use of color in some should be a significant enhancement. The student will gain knowledge of fire behavior through scientific principles and will achieve the means to make quantitative estimates for aspects of fire. The book is intended for those with a secondary education and is not a fundamental book for scientists and engineers. Introductions to the subjects of combustion, chemistry, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics will allow the student to learn what constitutes fire and its effects. The style of presentation is to offer simple explanations for component fire processes and to demonstrate the use of formulas to make estimations. The formulas are based on sound developments from fire research and can be tested potentially in classroom or field demonstrations. Carefully planned experiments can make much of the material in this book resonate with the students. The book covers all aspects of fire behavior. Fire is combustion, and the student is introduced to premixed flames, the basis of ignition and explosions, diffusion flames that personify accidental fire, and smoldering, which slows down potentially deadly process. The rudiments of heat transfer are introduced with simple presentations for conduction, convection, and radiation. The concept of heat flux is introduced as that effect of fire that causes harm, damage, and ignition. Buoyant fluid flow caused by fire is explained in terms of the chimney and then related to flows in rooms and buildings. Fire growth
