- Abstract
- "Principles of Smoke Management" by John Klote and James Milie is an exhaustive treatment of smoke management, including pressurized stairwells, pressurized elevators, zoned smoke control, and smoke management in atria and other large spaces. Recent advancements include heat release rate, toxicity of smoke, natural atrium venting, plugholing, minimum depth of an atrium smoke layer, smoke stratification, smoke detection, tenability systems, and computer analysis. The book includes numerous example calculations. Methods of analysis include equations, network flow models, zone fire models, scale modeling, and hazard analysis. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is also addressed. The book includes a CD of computer software for analysis of smoke management systems.
