I Love Logarithmic Plottings — Trivia was my Driving Force for Combustion Research —

Abstract

Several small talks on combustion I encountered in my career are introduced. These are solid propellant research, an instability problem on cellular H₂ flames, flame extinction by powder, an asymptotic solution on plasma jet igniter, my sexual harassment with CHEMKIN code, an accident in a super sonic engine wind tunnel (RJTF), flame structure found in scramjet combustor and thermal choking encountered in engine tests, et al. I enjoyed these studies during my healthy, bright days. These days passing-by are always beautiful. The driving force stimulated my combustion research is my trivia accumulated in my younger ages.
