Opis

Combustion Engineering, Third Edition presents combustion science principles and engineering applications in an acessible way for undergraduate and graduate students, and professionals in the workplace. This fully updated text looks at today's global energy, climate, and air pollution challenges, and the increasing importance of renewable energy sources, such as biomass fuels. Mathematical methods are presented along with qualitative descriptions of their use, and are supported by numerous tables with practical data and formulae, worked examples, chapter-end problems, and updated references. Full-color illustrations have been added, and a solutions manual is available for instructors.
