Microgravity Combustion: Fire in Free Fall |
|
|
From Book News, Inc.
Surveys current research on combustion in a microgravity environment, and explains many counterintuitive behaviors that flames exhibit in the absence of gravity. The eight contributions discuss premixed gas flames, laminar and turbulent gaseous diffusion flames, droplet combustion, mechanisms of flame spread and smolder wave propagation, metal particle combustion, combustion for materials synthesis, and fire safety in spacecraft. Appropriate for first year gr... >> |

Gravitation, Electromagnetism and Cosmology : Toward a New Synthesis |
|
|
Book Description
Collection of papers originally presented at an international conference on Redshifts and Gravitation in a Relativistic Universe, held Sept. 17-20, 1999, in Cesena, Italy. Topics covered include the nature of physical law, the mechanism of gravitation, alternatives to the Big Bang model based on the physics of the microcosm, flaws in the thermodynamics of the Big Bang, the enigma of redshift quantization, the conceptual and mathematical foundations of special relati... >> |
