DESCRIPTION:
Using combustion applications to reinforce the fundamentals of combustion science, this text provides a uniquely accessible introduction to combustion for undergraduate students, first-year graduate students, and professionals in the workplace. Emphasizing the use of combustion fundamentals in the engineering and design of combustion systems, this text provides detailed coverage of gaseous, liquid and solid fuel combustion, including focused coverage of biomass combustion, which will be invaluable to new entrants to the field. The challenge is to design safe and efficient combustion systems for many types of fuels in a way that protects the environment and enables sustainable lifestyles. Combustion Engineering, Second Edition maintains the same goal as the original: to present the fundamentals of combustion science with applic
He teaches classes in combustion, sustainability, energy systems, and design for the developing world. He served as chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering from July 1995 until his retirement in July 1999. Mark has an active research and teaching program in the areas of energy, combustion, and appropriate technology. Currently, he is the vice president of Energy Performance Systems, Inc. Kenneth "Mark" Bryden joined the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Iowa State University in 1998 after receiving his doctoral degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His early research was on solid fuel ram jet combustion, and gaseous and heterogeneous detonations. He is particularly interested in biomass combustion and small cookstoves for the developing world. Dr. He is president of Engineers for Technical and Huma

"It's OK could be better" according to A Customer. Quite well written, but the sections on combustion thermodynamics are a little weak and don't address enough of the issues usually expected in the treatment of thermo. Unfortunately there just is not one book on the market that can be called THE combustion text.
