Online resources: Summary: A hands-on, integrated approach to solving combustion problemsin diverse areas An understanding of turbulence, combustion, and multiphasereacting flows is essential for engineers and scientists in manyindustries, including power genera-tion, jet and rocket propulsion,pollution control, fire prevention and safety, and materialprocessing. This book offers a highly practical discussion ofburning behavior and chemical processes occurring in diversematerials, arming readers with the tools they need to solve themost complex combustion problems facing the scientific communitytoday. The second of a two-volume work, Applications of Turbulentand Multiphase Combustion expands on topics involving laminarflames from Professor Kuo's bestselling book Principles ofCombustion, Second Edition, then builds upon the theory discussedin the companion volume Fundamentals of Turbulent and MultiphaseCombustion to address in detail cutting-edge experimentaltechniques and applications not covered anywhere else. Special features of this book include: Coverage of advanced applications such as solid propellants,burning behavior, and chemical boundary layer flows A multiphase systems approach discussing basic concepts beforemoving to higher-level applications A large number of practical examples gleaned from the authors'experience along with problems and a solutions manual Engineers and researchers in chemical and mechanical engineeringand materials science will find Applications of Turbulent andMultiphase Combustion an indispensable guide for upgrading theirskills and keeping up with this rapidly evolving area. It is alsoan excellent resource for students and professionals in mechanical,chemical, and aerospace engineering.Summary: Intro -- Applications of Turbulent and Multiphase Combustion -- Contents -- Preface -- Chapter 1 Solid Propellants and Their Combustion Characteristics -- 1.1 Background of Solid Propellant Combustion -- 1.1.1 Definition of Solid Propellants -- 1.1.2 Desirable Characteristics of Solid Propellants -- 1.1.3 Calculation of Oxygen Balance -- 1.1.4 Homogeneous Propellants -- 1.1.4.1 Decomposition Characteristics of NC -- 1.1.5 Heterogeneous Propellants (or Composite Propellants) -- 1.1.6 Major Types of Ingredients in Solid Propellants -- 1.1.6.1 Description of Oxidizer Ingredients -- 1.1.6.2 Description of Fuel Binders -- 1.1.6.3 Curing and Cross-Linking Agents -- 1.1.6.4 Aging -- 1.1.7 Applications of Solid Propellants -- 1.1.7.1 Hazard Classifications of Solid Propellants -- 1.1.8 Material Characterization of Propellants -- 1.1.8.1 Propellant Density Calculation -- 1.1.8.2 Propellant Mass Fraction, -- 1.1.8.3 Viscoelastic Behavior of Solid Propellants -- 1.1.9 Thermal Profile in a Burning Solid Propellant -- 1.1.9.1 Surface and Subsurface Temperature Measurements of Solid Propellants -- 1.1.9.2 Interfacial Energy Flux Balance at the Solid Propellant Surface -- 1.1.9.3 Energy Equation for the Gas Phase -- 1.1.9.4 Burning Rate of Solid Propellants -- 1.1.9.5 Temperature Sensitivity of Burning Rate -- 1.1.9.6 Measurement of Propellant Burning Rate by Using a Strand Burner -- 1.1.9.7 Measurement of Propellant Burning Rate by Using a Small-Scale Motor -- 1.1.9.8 Burning Rate Temperature Sensitivity of Neat Ingredients -- 1.2 Solid-Propellant Rocket and Gun Performance Parameters -- 1.2.1 Performance Parameters of a Solid Rocket Motor -- 1.2.1.1 Thrust of a Solid Rocket Motor -- 1.2.1.2 Specific Impulse of a Solid Rocket Motor -- 1.2.1.3 Density-Specific Impulse -- 1.2.1.4 Effective Vacuum Exhaust Velocity -- 1.2.1.5 Characteristic Velocity C*.PPN: PPN: 809669412Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
