The course provides basic knowledge of the thermal effects of fires on various materials and constructions.
After the course, the students will have the ability to calculate heat transfer to surfaces exposed to hot gases and thermal radiation from fires. The course also covers simple methods for estimating the time to ignition of different materials, as well as methods for calculating temperatures in structures exposed to fires.
