An Introduction to Combustion: Concepts and Applications w/Software Second Edition [2/Ed]

Mcgraw-Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering

by Stephen R. Turns

This Second Edition retains all the same primary objectives as the original First, to present basic combustion concepts using relatively simple and easy-to -understand analyses; and second, to introduce a wide variety of practical applications which motivate or relate to the various theoretical concepts. The overarching goal is to provide a textbook which is useful for both formal undergraduate study in mechanical engineering and in related fields, and informal study by practicing engineers.

Great text on a fascinating topic with broad range of applications. Great reference for combustion phenomena!

This introductory text is motivating and informative. I enjoyed the methodical structure of the material - the gradual buildup from concepts and fundamental equations to simple systems and ultimately to turbulent flames. I anticipated that studying combustion would serve as a capstone to my previous study of thermodynamics, perhaps my favorite subject as an undergraduate student. In hindsight, I could have chosen among a number of subjects to serve this role.
