Every attempt is made for accuracy in every portion of the guide. It pains me to find mistakes, but I post them here in an effort for complete clarity and most importantly to aid in better exam prep.
I greatly appreciate any and all feedback from users in improving this guide. All of these updates are incorporated for future editions.
2018 PE Prep Guide Errata:
Formula 2.3 (p41): Flame height for wall configurations should use total heat release rate, not convective heat release rate. [ zl=0.166(Q*/k)^0.4, not zl=0.166(Q*c/k)^0.4 ]. This is identified in FPH p18-45 Formula (2). The other two formulas for axisymmetric fires listed in Formula 2.3 are still correct (these originate in NFPA 92, page 92-12).
