Explosion Dynamics

Structured and comprehensive introductory guide to understanding and applying explosion dynamics concepts

Explosion Dynamics thoroughly explores the physical phenomena of explosions and enables readers to understand controlling variables that govern temperature, pressure, and rate of increase in pressure respectively, while also providing a mathematical framework for characterizing and applying key concepts.

To promote seamless reader comprehension, this comprehensive textbook provides working examples, case studies, and assignments for self-study, as well as additional material such as property data for common gases and dusts, which supports the examples presented throughout the text.

Written by two highly qualified authors, topics covered in Explosion Dynamics include:

  • Similitude theory, similarity solutions, nonlinear systems of differential equations, gas dynamics, and chemical kinetics
  • How a flammable mixture of gas or vapor or a suspension of powder, dust particles, or droplets forms in the industrial processing of hazardous materials
  • Range of temperature, pressure, and concentration in which a flame can ignite and propagate
  • How the “rate-of-pressure-rise” affects the overall explosion hazard and the viability of various explosion protection measures

Providing a structured and comprehensive approach to the subject, Explosion Dynamics is an indispensable textbook that allows chemistry and engineering students, along with professional engineers and professionals in the chemical and food industries, to understand the fundamental mathematics and physics involved in explosions and develop appropriate protection and prevention measures.
