The combustion properties of organic materials are used to assess their safety specifications. This knowledge is necessary to avoid potentially disastrous fires. The experimental determination of the combustion properties of a new organic compound is laborious and sometimes even impossible. This book describes methods for the determination and prediction of the combustion properties of organic compounds, along with some examples and exercises.
This 2nd Edition includes an updated and improved presentation of the application of different new models for reliable prediction of diverse aspects of flammability of organic compounds.
