Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Modern investigations on creation of kinetic models of combustion of hydrocarbons entering into the composition of kerosene and kerosene as a whole have been analyzed. Certain recommendations on application of these models to calculation of actual gasdynamic flows have been given.
