This particular Seminar No. 18 on the Design and Operation of Heat Exchangers was the first one on this topic and was held at the Universit{t der Bundeswehr Hamburg (University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg) fromFebruary 27 to March 1 in 1991. The seminar was an international event and was attended by more than 60 scientist not only from countries of the European Community such as Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, and the Netherlands but also from other countries such as Canada, China, India, Israel, Romania, Soviet Union, Sweden and the United States of America.

Thermal radiation is an important phenomenon in many combustion processes ofpractical importance. This is especially so if the physical scale is large or the pressure is high, either or both of which features often characterize industrial equipment. Yet combustion analysts and engineers are often largely unfamiliar with the physics of thermal radiation transfer. This book focuses on the integration of heattransfer and combustion. These two subjects have traditionally been considered separate disciplines. In reality, the two are closely interwoven. The central purpose of the book is to...
