This volume, published in honor of Professor Corrado Casci,
celebrates the life of a very distinguished international figure
devoted to sCientific study, research, teaching, and leadership.
The numerous contributions of Corrado CasCi are widely admired by
scientists and engineers around the globe. He has been an
impressive model and outstanding colleague to many researchers.
Unfortunately, only a few of them could be invited to contribute to
this honorific volume. Everyone of the invited contributors
responded with enthusiasm. v Corrado Casci Contents Preface. . . .

This book introduces combustion related topics, including chemical
thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, deflagrations, detonations in
premixed media, diffusion flames, ignition, and flame
stabilization, to undergraduate students in mechanical, aerospace,
chemical, and civil engineering.
This book serves as both a graduate text and a reference for
engineers and scientists exploring the theoretical and
computational aspects of the fluid dynamics and transport of sprays
and droplets. Attention is given to the behavior of individual
droplets, including the effects of forced convection due to
relative droplet gas motion, Stefan convection due to the
vaporization or condensation of the liquid, multicomponent liquids
(and slurries), and internal circulation of the liquid. This second
edition contains more information on droplet-droplet interactions,
the use of the mass-flux potential, conserved scalar variables,
spatial averaging and the formulation of the multi-continua
equations, the confluence of spatial averaging for sprays and
filtering for turbulence, direct numerical simulations and
large-eddy simulations for turbulent sprays, and high-pressure
vaporization processes. Two new chapters introduce liquid-film
vaporization as an alternative to sprays for miniature applications
and a review of liquid-stream distortion and break-up theory, which
is relevant to spray formation."
