Nonsteady Burning and Combustion Stability of Solid Propellants (Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics)
(This book contains the work of several of the most distin...)
This book contains the work of several of the most distinguished international scientists in the area of solid-propellant combustion. A full and highly qualified exposure is given of Russian experiments and theories for the first time in an English language publication. Also reported are detailed analyses of intrinsic combustion stability of solid propellants and stability of solid rocket motors or burners. The book combines state-of-the-art knowledge with a tutorial presentation of the topics, so that it can be used as a textbook for students or reference for engineers and scientists involved in solid-propellant systems for propulsion, gas generation, and safety.

Advances in Combustion Science: In Honor of Ya. B. Zel'dovich (Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics)
(Authored by some of the most prestigious international re...)
Authored by some of the most prestigious international researchers, this book contains 21 papers that address five general catagories of combustion science: flame theory, heterogeneous combustion, unsteady and cellular combustion, turbulent combustion, and explosions and detonations. The book is dedicated to Yakov B. Zel'dovich, an eminent researcher known for his theoretical works on combustion and detonation, who served as the first Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. The first five papers give a perspective of the developments in flame theory, and the critical role that Zel'dovich played in them. The second section examines the issues of heterogeneous combustion and the recent advances in the field. The third section addresses material dealing with unsteady cellular combustion, and the fourth investigates turbulent combustion. The final section treats the subject of detonations and explosions.
