A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

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. This is a text that is useful for junior/senior undergraduates or graduate students in mechanical engineering and practicing engineers. The fourth edition updates and adds topics related to the role of combustion in a sustainable energy future, and modern open-source software has been integrated throughout.
