Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book aims to provide a broad view of combustion science, written for readers who may be specialists in one of the combustion-related areas, but who require a knowledge of the subject as a whole. The work is in three parts. Parts 1 and 2 contain an account of combustion theory, with emphasis on turbulent flame phenomena, coal combustion and fire problems. Part 3 concerns combustion design, research fundamentals and combustion technology.
Table of Contents
- Part 1 Combustion of gases: fundamentals of chemical kinetics - reaction rates, chemical equilibrium, chemical kinetic rate equations
- flame propagation in laminar flows - aerodynamics, dynamic stability, flammability limits
- flame propagation in turbulent flows - vortex stretching, combustion models, wrinkled laminar flame and local reaction models
- ignition and flame stabilization
- explosion and detonation
- diffusion flames. Part 2 Combustion of liquids and solids: combustion of droplets and sprays
- combustion of coal, combustion of char, transformations of ash, fixed-bed and fluidized-bed combustion
- free-burning fires - cellulosic materials, fire suppression
- combustion of condensed systems - the SHS process, combustion of solid propellants
- environmental aspects of combustion - major pollutants, clean systems. Part 3 Combustion design and research fundamentals: application of chemical reactor theory to combustor design
- physical modeling of combustion processes - similarity theory
- basic diagnostic techniques in combustion - measurements, visualization, diagnostics
- combustion in practical systems - gas-turbibes, boilers, LCVG. Appendices: The earliest scientific definition of combustion and flame
- data for thermochemical calculations.
