Product Description
Plasma engineering is a rapidly expanding area of science and technology with increasing numbers of engineers using plasma processes over a wide range of applications. An essential tool for understanding this dynamic field, Plasma Physics and Engineering provides a clear fundamental introduction to virtually all aspects of modern plasma science and technology. These areas include: plasma chemistry and engineering, combustion, chemical physics, lasers, electronics and new methods of material treatment, fuel conversion and environmental control. The book contains an extensive database on plasma kinetics and thermodynamics, many helpful numerical formulas for practical calculations, and a large number of problems and concept questions. As a foundational text, Plasma Physics and Engineering is ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering, as well as for scientists and engineers studying phenomena taking place in cold and thermal discharge plasmas, in combustion, and laser systems.

excellent text, 5 stars if it wasn't for the typos by L. I. Tobos (Farmington Hills, MI USA)

This is a great reference, with wonderful physical insight into plasma kinetics mechanisms. Unfortunately the astonishing work of the authors is undermined by minor typos from the editor, which may throw off beginners- equations where charges or species don't add up, and the like. I could not find an errata yet, therefore only the 4 stars; but sincere congrats to the authors for such indepth and insightful work.

This book focuses on the most important and fundamental issues ofplasma physics and applications in today's industry. It provides anexcellent introduction and overview of plasma. It covers almost allaspects of plasma physics and engineering and has a lot of usefulexamples.In this book, author gave a thorough consideration of the theory ofbreakdown phenomena leading to formation of different plasmadischarges and finally covered, in considerable depth, the physics andmain features behind the major discharges intensively used incutting-edge technologies. Along with the well known material, themost interesting and important innovations in area of plasma physicsare also gathered and discussed.It is extremely useful as reference and textbook. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in plasma.
