This book is an introductory text on fundamental aspects of combustion including thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer and chemical kinetics which are used to systematically derive the basic concepts of combustion. Apart from the fundamental aspects, many of the emerging topics in the field like microscale combustion, combustion dynamics, oxy-fuel combustion and combustion diagnostics are also covered in the book. This would help the beginners in the subject to get initiated to the state of the art topics.

Key Features:

This book focuses on droplets and sprays relevant to combustion and propulsion applications. The book includes fundamental studies on the heating, evaporation and combustion of individual droplets and basic mechanisms of spray formation. The contents also extend to the latest analytical, numerical and experimental techniques for investigating the behavior of sprays in devices like combustion engines and gas turbines. In addition, the book explores several emerging areas like interactions between sprays and flames and the dynamic characteristics of spray combustion systems on the fundamental side, as well as the development of novel fuel injectors for specific devices on the application side. Given its breadth of coverage, the book will benefit researchers and professionals alike.

This book presents selected extended papers from the International Conference on Mechanical Engineering (INCOM 2024), describing recent advances in thermo-fluids engineering research. Various topics covered in this book are design and analysis of thermal systems, dynamics and control of thermal systems and processes, fluid mechanics, fluid–structure interaction, heat transfer, internal combustion engines and gas turbines, multiphase flow, and heat transfer. The book is a valuable reference for researchers and professionals working in the fields of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, and power engineering and also for a number of interdisciplinary areas like materials processing, electronic, and energy storage systems where thermal management is a key design issue.
