Description and Table of Contents

Description

A comprehensive treatment of combustion principles and their applications, covering chemically reacting flow systems with applications to power production, jet and rocket propulsion, fire control, pollution control and the material processing industries. The book includes the theoretical modelling of combustion in addition to experimental techniques, and emphasizes the use of digital computers for solutions. This is the first new textbook on the subject in several years and includes a review of essential background materials for combustion study. Also contained are many illustrative examples and problems at the ends of chapters. The solution of techniques are presented in a manner in which to utilize digital computers.
