New books on physics and related sciences

Abstract

The book presents the generalized results of predominantly experimental studies on the processes of combustion, igni-tion/self-ignition, rapid deflagration, and detonation in hydrogen-containing combustible systems. Analysis is car-ried out with studies at initial conditions that hold practical interest for problems of hydrogen energetics and for solving safety problems in the deliberate utilization of hydrogen or in cases of its accidental leakage in technical devices. Possible modes of explosive transformation, their concentration, pressure, temperature, and geometric conditions of imple-mentation, and possible limitations are discussed. Probable scenarios of using hydrogen as fuel are evaluated. The book discusses aspects related to the combustion of pre-nonmixed and partially pre-mixed hydrogen-containing mixtures, and the consequences of explosion for ignitable clouds of hydrogen-containing systems in the atmosphere and for gas-filled cavities immersed in a liquid.
