1 Overview of Gas Turbines for Propulsion and Power Generation 1.0 Introduction This is the age of gas turbines with their ever-growing contributions to people’s living standard and well-being. As…
Abstract Industrial combustion processes are unique compared to the other chapter subjects in this book by virtue of their scale and diversity. For example, a large flame produced by a…
Abstract Our perception of a flame is strongly grounded in gravity’s influence. From our every interaction with fire from the first birthday candles we blew out, we each build an…
Abstract Combustion is ubiquitous around us and in the technology that we depend on in our daily lives. To someone uninitiated in the field, observing the combustion process can produce…
Abstract There are only so many technologies and devices that have the same type of impact as that of the internal combustion (IC) engine. Its ubiquitous nature pervades our everyday…
Abstract Humans have an insatiable desire to model physical phenomena and to continuously improve those models, be it modeling weather patterns for forecasting, molecular modeling in pharmaceutical research, or even…
