"This book provides an overview of the latest computational approaches to estimate rate constants for thermal reactions. It addresses the theories behind various first-principle and approximation methods that have emerged in the last twenty years with validation examples, and presents in-depth applications of those theories to a wide range of basic and applied research areas. When doing modeling and simulation of chemical reactions (as in many other cases), one often has to compromise between higher-accuracy/higher-precision approaches (which are usually time-consuming) and approximate/lower-precision approaches (which often has the advantage of speed in providing results). This book covers both approaches. It is augmented by a wide-range of applications of the above methods to fuel combustion, unimolecular and bimolecular reactions, isomerization, polymerization, and to emission control of nitrogen oxides"--Provided by publisher.
