Description
Thermal Explosion: Theory and Application is a definitive resource for understanding the complex phenomena of thermal runaway reactions and their prevention. Written by renowned expert Vasily B. Novozhilov, this volume synthesizes decades of research into thermal explosion mechanisms, providing both theoretical foundations and practical engineering solutions.
The book covers critical topics including temperature distribution in reactive systems, ignition conditions, reaction kinetics, and heat transfer effects. It addresses real-world applications in chemical processing, storage safety, and industrial risk assessment. Engineers, safety professionals, and researchers will find detailed mathematical models, case studies, and experimental validation throughout.
Part of the prestigious Wiley-ASME Press Series, this work bridges the gap between academic theory and practical implementation, making it invaluable for anyone designing safer chemical processes or managing thermal hazards in industrial environments.
