Extensively using experimental and numerical illustrations,
Combustion Phenomena: "Selected Mechanisms of Flame Formation,
Propagation, and Extinction" provides a comprehensive survey of the
fundamental processes of flame formation, propagation, and
extinction.
Taking you through the stages of combustion, leading experts
visually display, mathematically explain, and clearly theorize on
important physical topics of combustion. After a historical
introduction to the field, they discuss combustion chemistry,
flammability limits, and spark ignition. They also study
counterflow twin-flame configuration, flame in a vortex core, the
propagation characteristics of edge flames, instabilities, and
tulip flames. In addition, the book describes flame extinction in
narrow channels, global quenching of premixed flames by turbulence,
counterflow premixed flame extinction limits, the interaction of
flames with fluids in rotating vessels, and turbulent flames. The
final chapter explores diffusion flames as well as combustion in
spark- and compression-ignition engines. It also examines the
transition from deflagration to detonation, along with the
detonation wave structure.
With a CD-ROM of images that beautifully illustrate a range of
combustion phenomena, this book facilitates a practical
understanding of the processes occurring in the conception, spread,
and extinguishment of a flame. It will help you on your way to
finding solutions to real issues encountered in transportation,
power generation, industrial processes, chemical engineering, and
fire and explosion hazards.
