Overview

Most of the material covered in this book deals with the fundamentals of chemistry and physics of key processes and fundamental mechanisms for various combustion and combustion related phenomena in gaseous combustible mixture. It provides the reader with basic knowledge of burning processes and mechanisms of reaction wave propagation. The combustion of a gas mixture (flame, explosion, detonation) is necessarily accompanied by motion of the gas. The process of combustion is therefore not only a chemical phenomenon but also one of gas dynamics. The material selection focuses on the gas phase and with premixed gas combustion. Premixed gas combustion is of practical importance in engines, modern gas turbine and explosions, where the fuel and air are essentially premixed, and combustion occurs by the propagation of a front separating unburned mixture from fully burned mixture. Since premixed combustion is the most fundamental and potential for practical applications, the emphasis in the present work is be placed on regimes of premixed combustion. This text is intended for graduate students of different specialties, including physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, computer science, mathematics and astrophysics.

Reviews

Aus den Rezensionen: Das vorliegende Buch richtet sich vor allem an 'Graduate Students', also an Studierende, die bereits mindestens einen Bachelorabschluss ... haben. ... Wer sich durch den 360-seitigen Text durcharbeitet, bekommt auf jeden Fall eine hervorragende Einfuhrung in die Komplexitat von Verbrennungsprozessen von Gasmischungen. ... Gut ist sicher, dass jedes Kapitel am Ende einige Aufgaben enthalt ! Das Buch liefert insgesamt eine sehr gute Einfuhrung in das Thema und fundierte Kenntnisse auf dem Gebiet der Physik, speziell der Gasdynamik fur Verbrennungsprozesse von Gasmischungen. (Thomas M. Klapotke, in: Nachrichtenb aus der Chemie, 2009, Vol. 57, Issue 1, S. 60 f.)
