MALLARD, Recherches sur la combustion des mélanges gazeux, 1883

First edition.
François Ernest Mallard (1842-1894) and Henri Louis Le Châtelier (1850-1936) were French engineers and chemists. Le Châtelier is one of the founders of modern industrial chemistry. This work, an excerpt from the Annales des Mines, presents their joint research on the combustion of explosive gaseous mixtures. It was a fundamental work on detonation and flame propagation.
