Abstract:

The Second International Symposium on Flames as Reactions in Flow was attended primarily by combustion chemists and physicists from 11 countries. The symposium covered research on conventional and high intensity propellant and plasma flames. The 37 papers presented dealt with the mechanisms and kinetics of combustion, pollutant foundation and control, chemical syntheses in flames, thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons, combustion radiative diagnostics and reactivity of vibrationally excited molecules. Though primarily basic in nature, the results reported included concepts of immediate practicality. Author
