ABSTRACT
The field of industrial combustion is very broad and touches, directly or indirectly, nearly all aspects of our lives. The electronic devices we use are generally powered by fossil-fuel-fired power plants. The cars we drive use internal combustion engines. The planes we fly in use jet-fuel-powered turbine engines. Most of the materials we use have been made through some type of heating process. While this book is concerned specifically with industrial combustion, all of the above combustion processes share many features in common.
