Principles of Combustion - Allan T. Kirkpatrick, Kenneth K. Kuo

The new edition of a classic textbook on combustion principles and processes, covering the latest developments in fuels and applications in a student-friendly format Principles of Combustion provides clear and authoritative coverage of chemically reacting flow systems. Detailed and accessible chapters cover key combustion topics such as chemical kinetics, reaction mechanisms, laminar flames, droplet evaporation and burning, and turbulent reacting flows. Numerous figures, end-of-chapter problems, extensive reference materials, and examples of specific combustion applications are integrated throughout the text. Newly revised and expanded, Principles of Combustion makes it easier for students to absorb and master each concept covered by presenting content through smaller, bite-sized chapters. Two entirely new chapters on turbulent reacting flows and solid fuel combustion are accompanied by additional coverage of low carbon fuels such as hydrogen, natural gas, and renewable fuels. This new edition contains a wealth of new homework problems, new application examples, up-to-date references, and access to a new companion website with MATLAB files that students can use to run different combustion cases. Fully updated to meet the needs of today’s students and instructors, Principles of Combustion: Provides problem-solving techniques that draw from thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and chemistryAddresses contemporary topics such as zero carbon combustion, turbulent combustion, an
