COMBUSTION PHENOMENA - SELECTED MECHANISMS OF FLAME FORMATION, PROPAGATION AND EXTINCTION

Exploring the fundamental processes occurring in a flame front during its propagation, this book provides a visual picture of combustion. Leading combustion experts visually display, mathematically explain, and theorize on important physical topics of combustion. Pictures illustrate the stages of flame propagation and the role of the most important processes controlling flame formation, propagation, and extinction. The illustrations include drawings, graphs, and photgraphs. The author's intent is to appeal to the imagination rather than to limit discussions to the classical approach. A CD-ROM is included that beautifully illustrates varying conditions of combustion formation, propagation, and extinction.
