About the Book

Boundary Layer Theory for Reacting Gas Mixtures by William H. Dorrance is a comprehensive text that delves into the theories and calculations needed to treat the laminar and turbulent boundary layers of reacting gas mixtures. Geared towards advanced undergraduate and graduate students in engineering, as well as professionals in the field, this book presents a self-contained treatment that covers all relevant chemical, thermodynamic, and physical concepts necessary for understanding the behavior of gas mixtures at the boundary level.

The book presents detailed theories for treating reacting laminar and turbulent boundary layers, alongside equations for calculating heat transfer between reacting gas boundary layers and decomposing surfaces. Dorrance’s work incorporates the latest research and theories on transport and thermodynamic properties of dilute gas mixtures, with special attention given to the interactions between particles and how these interactions influence the transport properties of the mixtures.

In addition to the core theories, the book also explores essential concepts from thermochemistry, enriching the reader’s understanding of the underlying processes. This makes it a valuable reference for both academic coursework and professional practice, providing in-depth coverage of boundary-layer theory while ensuring clarity and accessibility for readers at all levels. Whether you're studying heat transfer in engineering or exploring the transport properties of gas mixtures, this text offers essential insights and practical applications for understanding complex thermodynamic systems.
