Extensively using experimental and numerical illustrations,
CombustionPhenomena: 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 downloadable resources 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.
