Tony Oppenheim’s book on Dynamics of Combustion Systems has been published by Springer.
Combustion Systems are confined fields
of compressible fluids where exothermic processes of
combustion take place, subject to boundary conditions imposed
at their borders. The subject of Dynamics of
Combustion Systems is presented in three parts.
Part 1. Exothermicity –
considering the thermodynamic effects due to evolution of exothermic energy in a combustion system
- Chapter 1. Thermodynamic Aspects
- Chapter 2. Evolutionary Aspects
- Chapter 3. Heat Transfer Aspects
- Chapter 4. Chemical Kinetic Aspects
Part 2. Field –
exposing the dynamic properties of flow fields where the exothermic energy is deposited
- Chapter 5. Aerodynamic Aspects
- Chapter 6. Random Vortex Method
- Chapter 7. Gasdynamic Aspects
- Chapter 8. Fronts and Interfaces
Part 3. Explosion –
revealing the dynamic features of fields and fronts due to rapid deposition of exothermic energy
- Chapter 9. Blast Wave Theory
- Chapter 10. Self Similar Solution
- Chapter 11. Phase Space Method
- Chapter 12. Detonation
Upon a synthesis of its technology, the subject of Combustion in Piston Engines provides an engineering approach to its progress. In their advanced form, internal combustion engines are visualized as featuring distributed combustion (vid. photographs on the covers) executed by PJI&I (Pulse Jet Injection and Ignition) actuators operated by MECC (Micro Electronically Controlled Combustion) systems in response to feedbacks deduced from data provided by pressure transducer sensors. The data reduction technique of Pressure Diagnostics, introduced for this purpose, yields analytic functions describing the thermal behavior of the combustion system, including, in particular, the effectiveness with which fuel is utilized to generate pressure, the motive force of work. On this basis, a demonstration is produced of future engines that, by the use of these systems, can reduce the formation of pollutants by orders in magnitude, while, concomitantly, doubling the mileage of the vehicles they power. |
