Principles of Combustion

by Allan T. Kirkpatrick and Kenneth Kuan-yun Kuo

"Combustion is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant that produces oxidized, often gaseous products. Within the engineering realm, an understanding of combustion is necessary to understanding subjects like fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and turbulence, and has practical applications in the power production, jet and rocket propulsion, fire prevention and safety,...
