Experimental Combustion: An Introduction

Fulfilling the need for a classical approach, Experimental Combustion: An Introduction begins with an overview of the key aspects of combustion―including chemical kinetics, premixed flame, diffusion flame, and liquid droplet combustion―followed by a discussion of the general elements of measurement systems and data acquisition and analysis. In addition to these aspects, thermal flow measurements, gas composition measurements, and optical combustion diagnostics are covered extensively.  Building upon this foundation in the fundamentals, the text addresses measurements, instruments, analyses, and diagnostics specific to combustion experiments, as well as:   Describes the construction, working principles, application areas, and limitations of the necessary instruments for combustion systems Familiarizes the reader with the procedure for uncertainty analysis in combustion experiments Discusses advanced optical techniques, namely particle image velocimetry (PIV), laser Doppler anemometry (LDA), and planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) methods  From stoichiometry to smoke meters and statistical analysis, Experimental Combustion: An Introduction provides a solid understanding of the underlying concepts and measurement tools required for the execution and interpretation of practical combustion experiments.

Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students interested in learning the fundamental aspects of aircraft propulsion. Basic theory based on the principle of thermodynamics and aerodynamics is covered extensively. Emphasis is placed on precise and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles. The text flows in a gradual manner to instill confidence in the minds of students. The derivation of fundamental equations and principles have been kept at an uncomplicated mathematical level. Several examples are provided in each chapter to allow students to assimilate and reinforce the ideas developed. Emphasis is laid on problem solving techniques. The rudiments of the design, operation and behaviour of individual components of gas turbine engine are included. Typical values of design parameters, experimental data and examples of actual engines are also included to help the reader appreciate the subject matter.
