  • Superb

    Superb podcast with really good fire science information for the newcomer as well as the expert. I love the well-documented podcasts with many references to scientific articles and reference works. Marvellous soundtrack in episode 100. I would love to save it to my playlist on Apple Music but can’t find it. Please let me know if it is available!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

218 - Fire decay and cooling phases with Andrea Lucherini
Q: How can engineers account for the cooling phase in their designs?
By characterizing the boundary conditions accurately and understanding the thermal responses of materials during cooling, which differ from fully developed fire scenarios.
218 - Fire decay and cooling phases with Andrea Lucherini
Q: What is the significance of decay and cooling phases in structural fire safety engineering?
They are critical because structural failures can occur not only during the peak of the fire but also during these phases, impacting how fire safety engineering is designed.
209 - Updates from the SFPE with Chris Jelenewicz
Q: How will the Handbook handle updates to reflect new standards and codes?
Once the sixth edition is published, it will evolve as a living document, allowing for updates as emerging technologies and changes occur.
209 - Updates from the SFPE with Chris Jelenewicz
Q: What can we expect from the upcoming 6th edition of the Handbook?
The 6th edition will feature five books with 11 sections, 104 chapters, including new topics like wildland fires and lithium-ion batteries.
210 - Fire Fundamentals pt. 16 - Turbulence with Randy McDermott
Q: Why do we even care about Turbulent Combustion in fires?
It is critical for understanding fire behavior and necessary for effective fire modeling.
