Flows of reactive fluids (Q2269725)

This work examines basic concepts and methods necessary to study reactive flows and transfer phenomena in such areas as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and chemistry. Specific topics covered include: equations of state; transfer phenomena and chemical kinetics; balance equations of reactive flows; dimensionless numbers and similarity; chemical reactors; coupled phenomena; ambulant flow concepts; boundary layers and fluid layers; reactive and nonreactive waves; interface phenomena; multiphase flow concepts. The book could be of interest to graduate students, researchers in mathematical physics and engineers who investigate the problems of reactive flows.
