Combustion is an old technology, which at present provides about 90% of our worldwide energy support. Combustion research in the past used fluid mechanics with global heat release by chemical reactions described with thermodynamics, assuming infinitely fast reactions. This approach was useful for stationary combustion processes, but it is not sufficient for transient processes like ignition and quenching or for pollutant formation. Yet pollutant formation during combustion of fossil fuels is a central topic and will continue to be so in the future. This book provides a detailed and rigorous treatment of the coupling of chemical reactions and fluid flow. Also, combustion-specific topics of chemistry and fluid mechanics are considered and tools described for the simulation of combustion processes. For the 3rd edition the text has been thoroughly revised and updated. Combustion is an old technology, which at present provides about 90 per cent of our worldwide energy support. This book considers combustion processes in transient processes like ignition and quenching or in pollutant formation. The book provides a detailed and rigorous treatment of the coupling of chemical reactions and fluid flow. Combustion is the oldest technology of mankind; it has been used for more than one million years.
