Combustion Physics Book + PRICE WATCH * Amazon pricing is not included in price watch

Combustion Physics Book

This is a graduate-level text on the fundamentals of chemically reacting flows, intended for students of applied physics, chemistry, and aerospace, mechanical, and chemical engineering. It is also relevant to researchers in heat and power generation, burners and internal combustion engines, energy conservation, aero-propulsion, petroleum fuels and alternate fuels, pollution control, and fire and explosion hazards. Its distinguishing features are the comprehensive, rigorous, and yet approachable presentation, the strong interplay between theory, experiment and computation, and the emphasis on the dual importance of fluid mechanics and chemical kinetics that control combustion phenomena. It provides either a solid foundation for a graduate program in combustion, or starting points for research on new projects.Read More

  • Product Description

    In the past several decades, combustion has evolved from a scientific discipline that was largely empirical to one that is quantitative and predictive. These advances are characterized by the canonical formulation of the theoretical foundation; the strong interplay between theory, experiment, and computation; and the unified description of the roles of fluid mechanics and chemical kinetics. This graduate-level text incorporates these advances in a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental principles of combustion physics. The presentation emphasizes analytical proficiency and physical insight, with the former achieved through complete, though abbreviated, derivations at different levels of rigor, and the latter through physical interpretations of analytical solutions, experimental observations, and computational simulations. Exercises are mostly derivation in nature in order to further strengthen the student's mastery of the theory. Implications of the fundamental knowledge gained herein on practical phenomena are discussed whenever appropriate. These distinguishing features provide a solid foundation for an academic program in combustion science and engineering.
