This is a severe limitation because the essential feature of all combustion phenomena is that they arise as a result of the interplay of physical and chemical processes and a complete understanding can result only if aspects of mechanical ...

This book should be of interest to undergraduate/postgraduate chemists; chemical engineers; undergraduate/postgraduate mechanical engineers and environmental scientists; and industrial combustion technologists.

The text then elaborates on the reaction between hydrocarbons and oxygen and combustion waves in laminar flow. The manuscript tackles combustion waves in turbulent flow and air entrainment and burning of jets of fuel gases.

Combustion, Flames and Explosions of Gases, Third Edition provides the chemist, physicist, and engineer with the scientific basis for understanding combustion phenomena.

The first book to present a full-color visual panorama of combustion images along with explanatory and tutorial overviews.

With its clearly articulated physical and chemical processes of flame combustion and smooth, logical transitions to engineering applications, this new edition continues that tradition.

Most of the material covered in this book deals with the fundamentals of chemistry and physics of key processes and fundamental mechanisms for various combustion and combustion related phenomena in gaseous combustible mixture.

Phoolan Prasad's book contains theoretical developments in the study of the propagation of a curved nonlinear wave front and shock front, particularly in the caustic region.
