ABSTRACT

While the basic concepts in any discipline may not vary, the problems it faces do change. Combustion Science and Engineering is for students and engineers who wish to understand combustion fundamentals and apply them to engineering problems. In several instances, the authors have included physical explanations along with the mathematical relations and equations so that the principles can be applied to solve real world combustion and pollution problems. The book contains an outline of the corpuscular aspects of thermodynamics and introduces the background related to combustion of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels. Exercise problems, formulae, and tables appear at the end of text. Students embarking on their studies in chemical, mechanical, aerospace, energy, and environmental engineering will face continually changing combustion problems, such as pollution control and energy efficiency, throughout their careers.
