Heterogeneous Combustion

This volume undoubtedly contains one of the largest and most interesting collections of recent papers on metal and hybrid combustion. Most were presented at the AIAA Heterogeneous Combustion Conference in December 1963.

In the initial section of the book are some of the first published works on the analytical determination of metal burning rates, the various flame mechanisms of aluminum and magnesium, the combustion of aluminum in carbon dioxide atmospheres, and the ignition temperature of beryllium. Papers deal with the oxidation and flame studies with diborane and its alkyl derivatives and reaction studies between boron and nitrogen compounds. Papers in the third section deal with some aspects of the over-all hybrid combustion process.
