Book Description
Extensively using experimental and numerical illustrations, CombustionPhenomena: Selected Mechanisms of Flame Formation, Propagation, and Extinction provides a comprehensive survey of the fundamental processes of flame formation, propagation, and extinction. Taking you through the stages of combustion, leading experts visually display, mathematically explain, and clearly theorize on important physical topics of combustion. After a historical introduction to the field, they discuss combustion chemistry, flammability limits, and spark ignition. They also study counterflow twin-flame configuration, flame in a vortex core, the propagation characteristics of edge flames, instabilities, and tulip flames. In addition, the book describes flame extinction in narrow channels, global quenching of premixed flames by turbulence, counterflow premixed flame extinction limits, the interaction of flames with fluids in rotating vessels, and turbulent flames. The final chapter explores diffusion flames as well as combustion in spark- and compression-ignition engines. It also examines the transition from deflagration to detonation, along with the detonation wave structure. With downloadable resources of images that beautifully illustrate a range of combustion phenomena, this book facilitates a practical understanding of the processes occurring in the conception, spread, and extinguishment of a flame. It will help you on your way to finding solutions to real issues encountered in transportation, power generation, industrial processes, chemical engineering, and fire and explosion hazards.

Book Description
Azad's debut YA fantasy is set in a city along the Silk Road that is a refuge for those of all faiths, where a young woman is threatened by the war between two clans of powerful djinn. Fatima lives in the city of Noor, a thriving stop along the Silk Road. There the music of myriad languages fills the air, and people of all faiths weave their lives together. However, the city bears scars of its recent past, when the chaotic tribe of Shayateen djinn slaughtered its entire population -- except for Fatima and two other humans. Now ruled by a new maharajah, Noor is protected from the Shayateen by the Ifrit, djinn of order and reason, and by their commander, Zulfikar.But when one of the most potent of the Ifrit dies, Fatima is changed in ways she cannot fathom, ways that scare even those who love her. Oud in hand, Fatima is drawn into the intrigues of the maharajah and his sister, the affairs of Zulfikar and the djinn, and the dangers of a magical battlefield.In this William C. Morris YA Debut Award finalist novel, Nafiza Azad weaves an immersive tale of magic and the importance of names; fiercely independent women; and, perhaps most importantly, the work for harmony within a city of a thousand cultures and cadences.

ISBN: 8183891357
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
The present series LEARNING ELEMENTARY SCIENCE for Classes 6–8 follows the concept of “Learning without burden” as a guiding principle. Science has to be understood as a lively and growing body of knowledge. The children have to learn the dynamism of science by observing things closely, recording observations, and when drawing inferences from what they observe. Observations are to be made by performing such activities which can be easily performed by the children, often without costly equipment, and even at their homes. When science is learned in this manner, the children would learn the ways of nature and start appreciating it. The salient features of this series are : It is in strict accordance with the latest N.C.E.R.T. syllabus. It encourages the learning of science through activities. The activities provide hands-on experience to the learners. All the activities and experiments are class-tested. The language used is simple and lucid. It explains the laws and principles of science in a clear and concise way. The series has updated information along with interesting facts in the form of ‘Did you know?’ Exercises and Activities / Projects are given at the end of each chapter. Exercises contain Multiple Choice Questions, Fill in the Blanks, True and False, Match the Statements, Short Answer Type Questions, etc. Activity / The project contains Activities, Projects, Charts, Models, Class Response, Visit, Quiz, the topic for Seminar/Debate. The assessments develop skills of comprehension of concepts, enhance knowledge and application of what is learned. Life skills relevant to the chapters are given at the end of the chapters. Two Model Test Papers are given at appropriate places for Half Yearly Examination and Yearly Examination. Four Periodic Test Papers are given at appropriate places for Periodic Assessments. Learning Elementary Science becomes a joyful experience with a number of clearly labeled illustrations and learner-friendly simple language. Goyal Brothers Prakashan
