Spray combustion is playing a key role in the research and development of engines and furnaces where improvements in the performance of combustion systems are increasingly concentrated on improving fuel efficiency and reliability, while reducing pollutant emissions and development costs. These chapters cover atomization and structure of sprays, group combustion, diesel and gas turbine engines, spray diagnostic techniques, and supercritical and microgravity environments.
