This textbook by Chung K. Law covers the fundamental principles of chemically reacting flows and is intended for students in applied physics, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, and chemical technology. It provides a solid and accessible approach to the theories behind reacting flows, offering a strong foundation in chemical combustion processes.
Description
The graduate-level text combines analytical sharpness with physical insight. This is achieved through clear, concise derivations and interpretations of analytical solutions, experiments, and simulation results. Exercises strengthen mastery of the theory without excessive deviation. Practical applications of the theoretical knowledge are addressed where relevant. This sets the book apart as a reliable reference work for university courses in chemical combustion processes and research projects.
