Abstract
This chapter has three aims:
-
characterization of engines and heating fuels on chemical grounds,
-
description of the working principles of engines, burners and industrial reactors, involving gas-phase thermal reactions,
-
presentation of the operating conditions under which the reactions in these different devices take place.
