MAK 4043 - Fire dynamics and safety

Course Objectives

1. To introduce Fire Safety Engineering, chemical and physical events in fires and fire
The Objective of the Course is to provide knowledge about the development,
2. Informing students about fire dynamics, the energy released in fires, hot gas
to ensure that their movements are expressed with analytical relations,
3. Reaching the level of knowledge that will master active fire protection system types and design principles,
to gain the ability to calculate and project systems,
4. Fire protection to ensure life safety in fires and to prevent fire expansion
provide information about systems.
