Abstract

This Third Edition of Glassman's classic text clearly defines the role of chemistry, physics, and fluid mechanics as applied to the complex topic of combustion. Glassman's insightful introductory text emphasizes underlying physical and chemical principles, and encompasses engine technology, fire safety, materials synthesis, detonation phenomena, hydrocarbon fuel oxidation mechanisms, and environmental considerations. Combustion has been rewritten to integrate the text, figures, and appendixes, detailing available combustion codes, making it not only an excellent introductory text but al

Abstract

The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future. It is therefore important that we understand the mechanisms of combustion and, in particular, the role of turbulence within this process. Combustion always takes place within a turbulent flow field for two reasons: turbulence increases the mixing process and enhances combustion, but at the same time combustion releases heat which generates flow instability through buoyancy, thus enhancing the transition to turbulence. The four chapters of this book present a thorough introduction to the field of turbulent combustion. After an overview of modeling approaches, the three remaining chapters consider the three distinct cases of premixed, non-premixed, and partially premixed combustion, respectively. This book will be of value to researchers and students of engineering and applied mathematics by demonstrating the current theories of turbulent combustion within a unified presentation of the field.

Abstract

Les orgueilleux soumis au supplice de la roue ; l'envieux, un clou enfoncé dans l'œil ; les gloutons gavés de force... Les sept péchés capitaux (l'orgueil, l'envie, la colère, la tristesse, l'avarice, la gourmandise et la luxure) et les représentations allégoriques de leurs châtiments respectifs ont forgé l'éducation religieuse des hommes du Moyen Âge. Ce livre retrace la naissance et l'essor d'un système théologique et pédagogique dont l'architecture se ramifie en arborescences complexes et en vices intermédiaires, du VIe siècle au XIVe siècle. On y lit également le portrait d'une société : celui des moines confinés dans leurs cellules à la tombée du jour, dont la méchante humeur se nomme acédie puis tristesse ; celui des intellectuels et des courtisans rongés par l'envie, mal social par excellence. Parce qu'elle rencontre des objets de débat fondamentaux - le corps, l'âme, les femmes, le travail, l'argent... -, l'histoire des sept péchés capitaux forme une véritable encyclopédie de la culture occidentale au Moyen Âge, comme en témoigne le riche cahier iconographique commenté par Jérôme Baschet
