Overview

New advanced imaging techniques using photons (visible light) have allowed scientists and engineers to better measure and understand the precise physical and chemical processes taking place in flame ignition and combustion. That in turn allows for better understanding of higher fuel efficiencies and pollution mitigation. This first volume in a 3 volume set within Momentum Press's 'Sustainable Energy Series, ' will focus on the fundamental principles of such techniques, of how light interacts with turbid, moving fluids, and how that scattering can create meaningful data on the behavior of moving, turbulent gas fluids like flames. Researchers in combustion science and engineering will be able to put these new techniques to immediate use in their study of flame behavior and characteristics, perhaps then leading to new developments in fuel/air chemistry and physics. The book provides: * An introduction to common types of problems in highly scattering media. * An introduction to optics as it applies to ERT and ray-tracing. * Coverage of single-particle scattering and scattering from collections of particles. * A companion DVD with software for performing sample MC simulation
