Introduction to Combustion Concepts and Applications

Mcgraw-Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering

by Turns

"Introduction to Combustion" is the leading combustion textbook for undergraduate and graduate students because of its easy-to-understand analyses of basic combustion concepts and its introduction of a wide variety of practical applications that motivate or relate to the various theoretical concepts. This is a text that is useful for junior/senior undergraduates or graduate students in mechanical engineering and practicing engineers. The third edition updates and adds topics related to protection of the environment, climate change, and energy use. Additionally, a new chapter is added on fuels due to the continued focus on conservation and energy independence.

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.
