Riassunto

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. The third edition maintains the book's strong foundation and includes a thorough updating of topics related to energy use (Chapter 1), chemical mechanisms (Chapter 5), and protection of the environment (Chapter 15). Furthermore, an expansive discussion of conventional and alternative fuels (new Chapter 17) has been added.
