Get Ebooks An Introduction To Combustion: Concepts And Applications W/Software
This Second Edition retains all the same primary objectives as the original text: First, to present basic combustion concepts using relatively simple and easy-to -understand analyses; and second, to introduce a wide variety of practical applications which motivate or relate to the various theoretical concepts. The overarching goal is to provide a textbook which is useful for both formal undergraduate study in mechanical engineering and in related fields, and informal study by practicing engineers.

**Intro**This combustion textbook is a good place to go if you already have some knowledge in thermodynamics and a little chemistry, and want to extend that knowledge into the world of combustion.**The Contents**There is a little bit of everything in this book. You learn how to calculate with metrics that are unique to combustion, like the Lower Heating Value, Higher Heating Value, Adiabatic Flame Temperature, etc. You can read about how to apply thermodynamic laws to combustion applications, with things like Gibbs free energy minimization. Reaction kinetics are addressed, drawing on mathematics that are also applicable to other chemical reactions that aren't necessarily combustion reactions, so this knowledge is extendable to chemical engineering. There are also things about reaction mechanisms, flame lengths, flame quenching, different types of combustion engines, the fluid dynamics that occur in flames, liquid droplet and solid fuel combustion, NOX formation, other combustion pollutants, and even a little about detonation. Finally, there are a lot of useful tables in the back. Though these tables may not contain everything, if you need to go more into depth with looking up properties, there are some good websites for that like NIST, NASA Thermobuild, and others. Many of the subjects covered in the book are like that too, short, not necessarily exhaustive or even comprehensive. They are concise, and contain only what you really need. I don't think the brevity is necessarily a shortfall, the book is called An **Introduction** to Combustion after all.**The Limitations**Once you study this book, on your own, or as part of a college class, if your goal is to get an M.S.
