Synopsis

This book presents scientific aspects of combustion from a fundamental viewpoint. It is unique because it addresses scientifically literate readers who have not specialized in combustion. Central topics of the science, notably diffusion flames, deflagrations, detonations, flammability, explosions, and turbulent combustion, are covered from an up-to-date perspective. In addition, there are discussions of the history of the subject and projections for future developments. Current topics of combustion research may be found in this volume, as well as introductions to the modern methods being used to attack these.

About this title

Review

'The authors are to be commended for their effect and success in presenting the intricate details of a highly interdisciplinary and complex subject to nonspecialists. The publisher has done a superb job of printing and reproducing illustrations. The table of contents and the subject index are well prepared. The hard cover binding is impressive. Fundamental aspects of Combustion is recommended for adaptation as a supplementary text for a first-level graduate course in combustion or as an introductory guide for those interested in theoretical research in combustion science.'Subramanyam R. Gollahalli, Applied Mechanics Review, vol. 46, no.7, July 1993
