1. Background to the physics of premixed gas combustion

1.1 Context

In industrial applications, combustion generally involves several scientific disciplines: chemistry, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. It therefore lies at the crossroads of these disciplines, and Professor Von Karman even gave it the evocative name of aerothermochemistry.

First, let's look at the chemical aspect. Generally speaking,...
