Abstract

The book Combustion Theory is a reduced English version of the material prepared for my combustion class at the RWTH Aachen Technical University. It is intended as an introduction to the fundamentals of combustion science with the aim to supply the basic notions and equations for more detailed numerical investigations. With modern computational tools and facilities numerical calculations with large codes aiming to predict the performance of combustion devices such as furnaces, reciprocative engines and gas turbines are feasible. Whether they will partly or fully replace experimental investigations will largely depend on the reliability of the combustion models used.

The contents of the book include 15 chapters:

+ Chapter 1 Thermodynamics of Combustion Systems

+ Chapter 2 Adiabatic Flame Temperature and Chemical Equilibrium

+ Chapter 3 Fluid Dynamics and Balance Equations for Reacting Flows

+ Chapter 4 Laminar Premixed Flame Configuration

+ Chapter 5 The Thermal Flame Theory

+ Chapter 6 Asymptotic Structure of Four-Step Premixed Stoichiometric Methane Flames

+ Chapter 7 Flame Extinction and Flammability Limits

+ Chapter 8 Laminar Diffusion Flames: Basic Theory

+ Chapter 9 Laminar Diffusion Flame Configurations

+ Chapter 10 Turbulent Combustion: The State of the Art

+ Chapter 11 Premixed Turbulent Combustion: The Regime Diagram

+ Chapter 12 The Level Set Approach for Turbulent Premixed Combustion

+ Chapter 13 The Turbulent Burning Velocity

+ Chapter 14 Non-Premixed Turbulent Combustion: The Flamelet Concept

+ Chapter 15 Applications in Internal Combustion Engines
