Fundamentals of Combustion Processes [electronic resource] / by Sara McAllister, Jyh-Yuan Chen, A. Carlos Fernandez-Pello. - XXIV, 304 p. online resource. - Mechanical Engineering Series -0941-5122 .

Preface -- Nomenclature.- Fuel -- Thermodynamics of Combustion -- Chemical Kinetics -- Review of Transport Equations and Properties -- Ignition Phenomena -- Premixed Flames -- Non-Premixed Flames (Diffusion Flames) -- Droplet Evaporation and Combustion.- Emissions -- Premixed Piston IC Engines. Diesel Engines -- Labs -- Properties of Fuels -- Properties of Air at 1 atm -- Properties of Ideal Combustion Gases -- Elementary Reaction Mechanisms -- Summary of Limits of Flammability -- Minimum Ignition Energy -- Antoine Equation -- Flash Points for Common Fuels -- Properties of Some Alcohol Fuels and Ammonia.

Fundamentals of Combustion Processes serves students as a textbook for an upper-division undergraduate and graduate level combustion course in mechanical engineering. The authors focus on fundamental theory of combustion and provide simplified discussion of basic combustion parameters and processes such as thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, ignition, diffusion, and pre-mixed flames. The text includes applications, example exercises, suggested homework problems, and videos of laboratory demonstrations.
