In this paper, the state of combustion is evaluated and its prospect as a vibrant branch of
science is assessed. It is first demonstrated that much progress has been made on the …

Combustion Technology: Some Modern Developments reviews modern developments in
combustion technology, with emphasis on furnace flames. Topics covered range from …

Combustion, the process of burning, is defined as a chemical reaction between a
combustible reactant (the fuel) and an oxidizing agent (such as air) in order to produce heat …

This graduate-level text incorporates these advances in a comprehensive treatment of the
fundamental principles of combustion physics. The presentation emphasises analytical …

Combustion is present continuously in our lives. It is a major source of energy conversion for
power generation, transportation, manufacturing, indoor heating and air conditioning …

This book is written with the belief that a need exists for it as a textbook in the academic
