Synopsis
A clear primer on how combustion theory explains detonations and deflagrations, with practical insights into how flow, heat, and chemistry interact.
This concise study explores how conservation laws shape the behavior of reacting gases in tubes and engines. It introduces key ideas like the Chapman-Jouguet condition, the role of finite reaction zones, and the limits where shocks, rarefactions, and burning interact in complex ways. The analysis emphasizes how small changes in viscosity, heat conduction, and reaction rate can alter outcomes, without predicting specific events in any given situation.
- How detonations and deflagrations differ in flow and timing, and why that matters for predictions.
- What makes the Chapman-Jouguet hypothesis a useful, but conditional, tool.
- How external-flow problems are set up and solved using conservation laws and boundary conditions.
- How parameters like viscosity, heat conduction, and reaction rate influence possible solutions and stability.
Ideal for readers seeking a rigorous, approachable look at the mathematical foundations of combustion theory.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

On the Mathematical Theory of Deflagrations and Detonations (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the mathematical theory of deflagrations and detonations, a subject crucial to understanding the principles of combustion and explosions. The author, a renowned mathematician, investigates the propagation of reaction processes under various conditions, taking into account heat conduction, viscosity, and the finite rate of chemical reactions. The book is notable for its systematic and rigorous approach, grounded in the well-established theory of shock waves. Through a detailed analysis of the governing differential equations, the author establishes the conditions under which deflagrations and detonations can occur, challenging the previously held assumptions known as the Chapman-Jouguet hypothesis. This book not only provides a comprehensive framework for understanding these phenomena but also offers valuable insights into the intricate interplay between physical and chemical processes. It is an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in the fields of combustion, fluid dynamics, and chemical kinetics, as well as for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles governing the propagation of reactions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334016684_0
