Fundamentals of Combustion Processes Summary

Fundamentals of Combustion Processes by Sara McAllister

Fundamentals of Combustion Processes is designed as a textbook for an upper-division undergraduate and graduate level combustion course in mechanical engineering. The authors focus on the fundamental theory of combustion and provide a simplified discussion of basic combustion parameters and processes such as thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, ignition, diffusion and pre-mixed flames. The text includes exploration of applications, example exercises, suggested homework problems and videos of laboratory demonstrations

Fundamentals of Combustion Processes Reviews

From the reviews:

The authors attempt to explain the phenomena of combustion from the basic principles of thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and chemistry. The book covers various aspects of combustion in a concise manner. ... the book is well written with sufficient explanation for the ease of the readers. ... it certainly is a graduate text on combustion. In addition, it may attract wide readership from researchers and practicing engineers. (K. N. Shukla, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1225, 2012)
