This book focuses on the application of classical combustion theory to ignition and flame propagation in solid-solid and gas-solid systems. It presents experimental investigations in the areas of local ignition, filtration combustion, self-propagating high temperature synthesis and nanopowders protection. The authors highlight analytical formulas used in different areas of combustion in solids and propose an approach based on classical combustion theory. The book attempts to analyze the basic approaches to understanding of solid-solid and solid - gas combustion presented in contemporary literature in a unified approach based on classical combustion theory.

This book presents new data on combustion processes for practical applications, discussing fire safety issues in the development of flame arresters and the use of noble metals in hydrogen recombiners for nuclear power plants. It establishes the basic principles of production of metal nanostructures, namely nanopowders of metals and compact products made of them, with the preservation of the unique properties of nanoproducts.

This book examines the issues on noble metal influence on gaseous combustion.  The book focuses on the new data on combustion processes having practical applications and includes fire safety issues in the use of noble metals in hydrogen recombiners for NPP, as well as in catalytically stabilized (CS) combustion technology including stimulation of combustion of hydrogen-blended hydrocarbons, synthesis of carbon nanotubes, and determination of catalytic ignition limits in noble metal-hydrogen-hydrocarbon systems to meet the challenges of explosion safety.
