Overview

This book is primarily intended for masters' students as well as engineers, scientists, professors and researchers looking to extend their knowledge of combustion. Professionals working in the field of combustion may well find many points of interest, highlighted by the book's logical and global approach to phenomena, which considers mechanical, thermal and chemical aspects simultaneously. The introduction contains a physical description of the phenomena involved, and describes how various combustion devices apply these phenomena. The first chapters provide the basic theory required, in thermodynamics, chemistry and the mechanics of fluids, and include worked examples at the end of each chapter. The book prioritizes an understanding of the physical and chemical aspects of the phenomena, and lays particular emphasis on experimental analyses and modern numerical simulations, and on the way in which these phenomena are translated into equations.
