The University of Leeds is pleased to offer once again the following CPD course in Fire Engineering:
Fire Dynamics and Modelling31 October - 4 November 2011Course detailsOn completion of this course, participants should be able to apply general combustion and engineering principles to fires, should know the parameters that influence flame spread and steady burning and should be able to quantify the burning rate in compartment fires, predict the rate of development of the fire, the onset of flashover, and appreciate the application of these concepts to fire protection design. They should also understand the factors influencing smoke toxicity and movement.
The participants will also be made aware of the predictive tools that are available and should become familiar with the application and use of such tools, through "hands-on" practice.
Who Should AttendAnybody who wishes/needs to gain a comprehensive, scientifically based analysis and engineering quantification tools, of fire development and consequence assessment in industrial and residential scenarios. This could include those involved in the design and operation of buildings and chemical plant (architects, civil engineers, chemical engineers), and in the design of protection systems (passive and active system developers, manufacturers, installers), those responsible for building and plant safety on a day to day basis, regulators and advisors (HSE, Fire Service, Home Office, Local Authorities, Building Control Offices, Consultants, Insurers) and fire-fighting professionals. Additionally, young researchers may find this course very useful.
AccreditationThe Fire Dynamics and Modelling CPD course, Leeds, has been approved for 32 CPD hours in total by the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE).
The Energy Institute has approved Leeds University – Faculty of Engineering as an Approved Training Provider.
VenueThe lectures will take place in Weetwood Hall Hotel and Conference Centre, which has ample accommodation and parking space.
Accommodation will be available at the hotel at a special rate, and can booked on behalf of delegates if requested on their registration form. Please see the course leaflet in the left hand column for further details.
