Heat & Exposure Engineering
Engineering quantities for thermal exposure, radiant flux, convective transfer and receptor response.
How should heat exposure be quantified when distance, flame geometry, duration and receptor properties all matter?
How Tecnobosque frames the subject
Heat transfer in wildfire exposure can involve radiation, convection and direct flame contact. Radiant heat flux is a rate per unit area; energy dose adds time; heat release rate describes source power; flame geometry and view factor influence radiative exchange; wind can alter both flame orientation and convective transport. Translating those physical quantities into building or material response requires receptor-specific properties and boundary conditions, so calculators should expose assumptions rather than hide them.
