TL;DR: In this article, the mechanisms and rate parameters for the gas-phase reactions of nitrogen compounds that are applicable to combustion-generated air pollution are discussed and illustrated by comparison of results from detailed kinetics calculations with experimental data.

TL;DR: The current computational methods for solving transport equations of turbulent reacting single-phase flows are critically reviewed, with primary attention given to those methods that lead to model-free simulations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present some of the progress that has been made in the use of the digital computer to simulate the physical and chemical processes which occur during the vaporization and burning of hydrocarbon fuel droplets.

TL;DR: A review of a number of combustor designs for burning low calorific value gases (LCVG) is given in this paper, and general design guidelines are offered for an advanced combustor.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a kinetic evaluation of the very rapid elementary radical reactions consuming the C2H2 produced in a chlorine catalyzed polymerization of CH4 and show that the relative yield of CH3 and CH2Cl depends on the excess of methane.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modelisation d'un ecoulement reactif a 1 dimension en regime permanent and transitoire is presented. Andrienko et al. describe the interactions entre l'ecoulement gazeux and le degagement d'energie chimique.

TL;DR: In this article, a perturbation analysis is used to show how the balance between the processes of selective diffusional demixing and flame stretch readily accounts for the composition domains in which cellular flames occur, and also predicts their dimensions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider wall flows that arise in enclosure fires and investigate the penetration and heat transfer characteristics of wall flows relevant to enclosure fires, showing that wall flows are important in an accurate prediction of the downward movement of the interface, between the upper and lower zones of a room fire, at the initial stages of the fire and also in the calculation of the transport processes at later stages.
