Résumé
This book provides an introduction to understanding
combustion, the burning of a substance that produces heat
and often light, in microgravity environments-i.e.,
environments with very low gravity such as outer space.
Readers are presented with a compilation of worldwide
findings from fifteen years of research and experimental
tests in various low-gravity environments, including drop
towers, aircraft, and space.
Microgravity Combustion is unique in that no other book reviews low- gravity combustion research in such a comprehensive manner. It provides an excellent introduction for those researching in the fields of combustion, aerospace, and fluid and thermal sciences.
