Combustion Physical and Chemical Fundamentals, Modeling and Simulation, Experiments, Pollutant Formation / by J. Warnatz, Ulrich Maas, Robert W. Dibble.

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 st...
