Chemically Reacting Flow

<p><b>A guide to the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of chemically reacting flow</b></p> <p><i>Chemically Reacting Flow: Theory, Modeling, and Simulation, Second Edition</i> combines fundamental concepts in fluid mechanics and physical chemistry while helping students and professionals to develop the analytical and simulation skills needed to solve real-world engineering problems. The authors clearly explain the theoretical and computational building blocks enabling readers to extend the approaches described to related or entirely new applications. New to this <i>Second Edition</i> are substantially revised and reorganized coverage of topics treated in the first edition. New material in the book includes two important areas of active research: reactive porous-media flows and electrochemical kinetics. These topics create bridges between traditional fluid-flow simulation approaches and transport within porous-media electrochemical systems.</p> <p>The first half of the book is devoted to multicomponent fluid-mechanical fundamentals. In the second half the authors provide the necessary fundamental background needed to couple reaction chemistry into complex reacting-flow models. Coverage of such topics is presented in self-contained chapters, allowing a great deal of flexibility in course curriculum design.</p> <p>•       Features new chapters on reactive porous-media flow, electrochemistry, chemical thermodynamics, transport properties, and solving differential equations in MATLAB</p> <p>•       Provides the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of chemically reacting flow</p> <p>•       Emphasizes fundamentals, allowing the analyst to understand fundamental theory underlying reacting-flow simulations</p> <p>•       Helps readers to acquire greater facility in the derivation and solution of conservation equations in new or unusual circumstances</p> <p>•       Reorganized to facilitate use as a class text and now including a solutions manual for academic adopters</p> <p>Computer simulation of reactive systems is highly efficient and cost-effective in the development, enhancement, and optimization of chemical processes. <i>Chemically Reacting Flow: Theory, Modeling, and Simulation, Second Edition</i> helps prepare graduate students in mechanical or chemical engineering, as well as research professionals in those fields take utmost advantage of that powerful capability.</p>
