Summary
This chapter describes the fundamental mechanisms of energy transport in and near the flaming front. Convective and radiative processes that generate ignition and subsequent fire spread, the transport of heat in different forms, through and around fuels, both horizontally and vertically, as well as energy measurement considerations are discussed.
