Modelling Diesel Combustion (Mechanical Engineering Series)

Springer, 2010

This book is a detailed discussion of the Diesel Combustion phenomena like ignition delay, fuel air mixing, rate of heat release, and emissions of smoke, particulate and nitric oxide. The book enables quantitative evaluation of these important phenomena and parameters. Most importantly, it attempts to model them with constants that are...

Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Residues (Studies in Environmental Science)

Elsevier Limited, 1997

The International Ash Working Group (IAWG) was established in 1989 to conduct an in-depth review of the existing scientific data and develop a state-of-knowledge treatise on MSW incinerator residue characterisation, disposal, treatment and utilisation. The topics of operator and worker health and safety, and health risk assessment...

Real-Life X-Files: Investigating the Paranormal

University Press of Kentucky, 2001

"Whoever said that the truth is both stranger and more entertaining than fiction describes this book exactly." -- Skeptical Inquirer

Interest in the paranormal is at an all-time high. Ghosts, UFOs, psychic power and other unexplained phenomena are endlessly fascinating for us. People often seem to accept of...

Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion Engine

Prentice Hall, 1997

This applied thermoscience book covers the basic principles and applications of various types of internal combustion engines. Explores the fundamentals of most types of internal combustion engines with a major emphasis on reciprocating engines. Covers both spark ignition and compression ignition engines as well as those operating on...

Lean Combustion: Technology and Control

Academic Press, 2007

Combustion under sufficiently fuel-lean conditions can have the desirable attributes of high efficiency and low emissions, this being particularly important in light of recent and rapid increases in the cost of fossil fuels and concerns over the links between combustion and global climate change. Lean Combustion is an eminently authoritative,...

Particles in Turbulent Flows

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

The only work available to treat the theory of turbulent flow with suspended particles, this book also includes a section on simulation methods, comparing the model results obtained with the PDF method to those obtained with other techniques, such as DNS, LES and RANS.

Written by experienced scientists with background in oil and gas...

Design and Development of Heavy Duty Diesel Engines: A Handbook (Energy, Environment, and Sustainability)

Springer, 2019

This book is intended to serve as a comprehensive reference on the design and development of diesel engines. It talks about combustion and gas exchange processes with important references to emissions and fuel consumption and descriptions of the design of various parts of an engine, its coolants and lubricants, and emission control...

Irreversible Phenomena: Ignitions, Combustion and Detonation Waves

Springer, 2007

Ideals are simple and able to be easily understood, but never exist in reality.

In this book a theory based on the second law of thermodynamics and its applications are described. In thermodynamics there is a concept of an ideal gas which satisfies a mathematical formula PV = RT. This formula can approximately be applied to the...
