Engines & power transmission

This book provides a link between modern laser-based diagnostics techniques and applied combustion problems. Fundamental understanding of combustion is needed to increase energy efficiency and reduce the pollution from combustion effluent. Laser-based diagnostics provide important tools to probe the harsh, high-temperature, and often high pressure environment of modern combustion systems. A pedagogical overview of the application of laser-based diagnostics to combustion problems is presented in this book. The text provides the active combustion research scientist with an understanding of what information each laser-based technique can provide. It provides supplemental reading to graduate courses in combustion and experiemental methods in mechanical engineering. The laser-diagnostics specialist learns strengths and weaknesses of the various laser-based techniques, and the student quickly gets an up-to-date status of laser-based combustion measurements.

Reviews for Applied Combustion Diagnostics

... this treatise on laser-based optical combustion diagnostics is both timely and important. It consists of authoritative articles by an international group of experienced researchers, covering state-of-the art of laser probes applied to different aspects of combustion. ...for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and for researchers, they will serve as a very useful entry point to combustion research with laser probes. Chemistry and chemical engineering collections will find this book to be a worthy edition.E-Streams, Vol. 6, No. 4 - April 2003. Robert Michaelson, Science and Engineering Librarian, Northwestern University Science and Engineering Library.. <br>... a thorough and readable review of the present state-of-the-art for laser-based combustion diagnostics... ...the publication quality of the book is very high; the chapters are well-organized and readable, the reference lists at the end of each chapter are extensive and up-to-date, and the quality of the figures is excellent throughout the book. A list of abbreviations at the end of the book is a nice feature, especially for readers who do not have extensive laser diagnostic experience. ...this will be a valuable book for both combustion reseachers with little or no experience with laser diagnostics as well as for those who have extensive laser diagnostic experience. - Combustion and Flame, 133(2003) 507-508, Robert P. Lucht, Purdue University. <br>
