Abstract
The role played by combustion in energy systems remains crucial in supplying the world’s
ever-increasing power demands. In the quest for improving efficiency, additional knowledge is
essential for developing new combustion technologies and appliances. Focus is increasing on
the conservation of energy and addressing environmental concerns, which together necessitate
cleaner and more efficient combustion processes using a range of fuel sources. This is essential to respond to global challenges in energy supply and to continue to address the decarbonization of the sector. In addition to power production, understanding combustion also plays a critical role in both managing fires and the materials synthesis sectors. To meet the objectives of progress and innovation in combustion science, new experimental measurements are needed and complemented by computational approaches. This book includes a series of 17 research studies that reveal new knowledge about combustion and its application. The topics covered span diverse areas associated with combustion including: fires, engines and applications, and acoustics. In combination, these complementary contributions provide a substantial body of knowledge in the field of progress in combustion diagnostics, science and technology, hence the apt name of this exciting publication.
