Mathematical Modelling of Gas-Phase Complex Reaction Systems: Pyrolysis and Combustion, Volume 45, gives an overview of the different steps involved in the development and application of detailed kinetic mechanisms, mainly relating to pyrolysis and combustion processes. The book is divided into two parts that cover the chemistry and kinetic models and then the numerical and statistical methods. It offers a comprehensive coverage of the theory and tools needed, along with the steps necessary for practical and industrial applications. Details thermochemical properties and "ab initio" calculations of elementary reaction ratesDetails kinetic mechanisms of pyrolysis and combustion processesExplains experimental data for improving reaction models and for kinetic mechanisms assessmentDescribes surrogate fuels and molecular reconstruction of hydrocarbon liquid mixturesDescribes pollutant formation in combustion systemsSolves and validates the kinetic mechanisms using numerical and statistical methodsOutlines optimal design of industrial burners and optimization and dynamic control of pyrolysis furnacesOutlines large eddy simulation of turbulent reacting flows | Mathematical Modelling of Gas-Phase Complex Reaction Systems by Tiziano Faravelli, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
