The book covers combustion of gaseous, liquid and solid fuels and deals with emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases.

Description

Fundamentals of Combustion Engineering is an introductory text on the fundamental aspects of combustion, including thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, and chemical kinetics, which are used to systematically derive the basic concepts of combustion. Aside from the fundamental aspects, many of the emerging topics in the field, like microscale combustion, combustion dynamics, oxy-fuel combustion, and combustion diagnostics, are also covered in the book. This helps beginners in the subject to engage with state-of-the-art topics.

Key Features:

Coverage of the essential aspects of combustion engineering suitable for both beginners and practising professionals.
Topics such as entropy generation, microscale combustion, combustion diagnostics, and second law-based analysis exclusive to this title.
Balanced treatment of thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and chemical kinetics.
Discussion on state-of-the-art techniques in combustion diagnostics.
Illustrates combustion of gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels along with the emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases.
