Summary
The Special Issue on "Heat and Mass Transfer in Fire," aimed at bringing together a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge research, methodologies, and findings in the area of heat and mass transfer phenomena related to fire dynamics. Fire is a complex process involving a myriad of physical and chemical interactions that have profound implications for environment, and industry. This Special Issue seeks to offer a platform for academicians, researchers, and professionals to share and discuss various facets of this critical subject. The Special Issue on "Heat and Mass Transfer in Fire" aims to foster dialogue and collaboration between academia and industry, with the goal of enhancing our understanding and mitigation of fire hazards. We warmly invite you to contribute to this important body of work. We look forward to your valuable contributions.
The Special Issue will focus on the following topics (but is not limited to):
1. Mathematical modeling of heat and mass transfer in fire.
2. Experimental studies on the behavior of materials under fire conditions.
3. Fire-induced flows and the related heat and mass transfer.
4. Combustion thermodynamics and its implications for heat transfer.
5. Fire suppression techniques and the related heat and mass transfer.
6. Wildfire modeling, considering convective, conductive, and radiative heat transfers.
7. Effects of fire on building materials and structural integrity.
8. Fire related environmental problems, such as fire pollutant dispersal and its impact on climate change.
9. Advanced technologies in fire detection, prediction, and management.
