توجه داشته باشید کتاب کتاب اشتعال: اصول و کاربردهای مهندسی ایمنی در برابر آتش ، بررسی آتش ، مدیریت ریسک و علوم پزشکی قانونی نسخه زبان اصلی می باشد و کتاب ترجمه شده به فارسی نمی باشد. وبسایت اینترنشنال لایبرری ارائه دهنده کتاب های زبان اصلی می باشد و هیچ گونه کتاب ترجمه شده یا نوشته شده به فارسی را ارائه نمی دهد.
این مرجع سنگین، حوزه اشتعال (یا با استفاده از اصطلاح قدیمی تر، التهاب) آتش سوزی های ناخواسته را در بر می گیرد. تأکید بر جنبههای عملی تعیین علل آتشسوزی است، با زیربنای نظری به گونهای خلاصه شده است که حتی برای پزشکان پیشرفته نیز کافی است. این کتاب مقدمه ای بر علم آتش نیست. فرض بر این است که خوانندگان پیشینه ای در علم/مهندسی آتش نشانی یا تحقیقات آتش سوزی دارند. مخاطبان گسترده هستند، از جمله تمرینکنندگانی که در بررسی آتشسوزیهای گذشته و همچنین مهندسانی که بهدنبال به حداقل رساندن پتانسیل اشتعال در ساختمانها و تأسیساتی که طراحی میکنند، هستند. پس از پوشش اصطلاحات و اصول، فصلهایی که به خوبی ارجاع داده شدهاند، احتراق گازها و بخارات، ابرهای گرد و غبار، مایعات، جامدات معمولی و عناصر، و همچنین خودگرم شدن، مواد منفجره و آتشزا، منابع اشتعال خارجی، و اقدامات پیشگیرانه را مورد بحث قرار میدهند. بخشی از صفحات رنگی متن را پشتیبانی می کند و دو فصل آخر شامل اطلاعاتی در مورد مواد و دستگاه های خاص و جداول مفید است. نویسنده یک شرکت مشاوره در این زمینه را رهبری می کند.
This hefty reference encompasses the field of ignition (or, using an older term, inflammation) of unwanted fires. Emphasis is on the practical aspects of determining causes of fires, with the theoretical underpinnings summarized in a way that should suffice for even advanced practitioners. The book is not meant as an introduction to fire science; readers are presumed to have background in either fire sceince/engineering or in fire investigation. The audience is wide, including practitioners involved in investigating past fires as well as engineers seeking to minimize the potential for ignition in the buildings and facilities they design. After coverage of terminology and fundamentals, the well-referenced chapters discuss ignition of gases and vapors, dust clouds, liquids, common solids, and elements, as well as self-heating, explosives and pyrotechnics, external ignition sources, and preventive measures. A section of color plates supports the text, and the final two chapters include information on specific materials and devices, and useful tables. The author heads a consulting firm in the field.
