Combustion, Flames and Explosions of Gases
Bernard Lewis,Guenther von Elbe +1 more
TL;DR: The second edition of this book has been in short supply for some time and the authors have decided in favor of a reprint of the book rather than an extensive revision at this time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability and Structure of Burner Flames
Bernard Lewis,Guenther von Elbe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the condition of equality of gas and burning velocities, required for stabilization of a flame above a burner, is established near the rim of the orifice or an obstruction within the stream by the effects of friction and inhibition of the explosive reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of the Speed of Flames and the Temperature Distribution in a Spherical Bomb from Time-Pressure Explosion Records
Bernard Lewis,Guenther von Elbe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for determining the velocity of flame relative to the mass movement of the gases, in a closed spherical bomb from an analysis of the time-pressure record of the explosion is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonisotropic Propagation of Combustion Waves in Explosive Gas Mixtures and the Development of Cellular Flames
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the spontaneous development of blisters or cells on the surface of a combustion wave is caused by the effect of diffusion processes on the burning velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Theory of Flame Propagation
Bernard Lewis,Guenther von Elbe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new theory of flame propagation in slow inflammation is proposed which considers that highly energized atoms or radicals formed in the flame front play a more important role than heat conductivity in bringing the unburned gas to the reacting state.
