This book provides a rigorous treatment of the coupling of chemical reactions and fluid flow. Combustion-specific topics of chemistry and fluid mechanics are considered and tools described for the simulation of combustion processes. This edition is completely restructured. Mathematical Formulae and derivations as well as the space-consuming reaction mechanisms have been replaced from the text to appendix. A new chapter discusses the impact of combustion processes on the atmosphere, the chapter on auto-ignition is extended to combustion in Otto- and Diesel-engines, and the chapters on heterogeneous combustion and on soot formation are heavily revised.

Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews of the fourth edition: "This book, now in its fourth edition, is intended as a text for beginning graduate students who are interested in some of the basic elements of combustion processes. …Throughout the book, the level of mathematics is fairly elementary. Thus, the subject can be followed by the targeted audience. … The authors have done an excellent job of organization. … In summary, I enjoyed reading this book and I recommend it. I may consider adopting it as a required text when I teach combustion again." (Peyman Givi, AIAA Journal, Vol. 45 (10), 2007)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Combustion modeling review,
By Andy H. Burns (Hamilton, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Combustion: Physical and Chemical Fundamentals, Modeling and Simulation, Experiments, Pollutant Formation (Hardcover)
This is a very good book. It format is very succictinct and as such spares no space for unecessary content. This give the narrative a somewhat terse style. It must be remembered that the science of combustion wrestles with some formidable concepts; such as turbulent flow, reduced reaction mechanisms for complex chemical reactions, fluid flow and heat transfer. This is not a book for those who are easily frightened by close typed differential equations. This book however, is an excellent introduction to the science of combustion, and contains a detailed and upto date biblography, pointing the interested reader in the right direction. It also contains one of the most complete tables of kinetic data for combustion reactions, I have seen in published literature. My one regret is that there is no companion volume of solved examples that could be used by an unassisted, but interested student. Read in conjunction with Smith/Missen, computation of chemical equilibrium, and Anderson's excellent introduction to Computational fluid dynamics, and the world of this facinating and most important field opens up.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful book,
By Mr.Pipps (Urbana, IL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Combustion: Physical and Chemical Fundamentals, Modeling and Simulation, Experiments, Pollutant Formation (Hardcover)
This book is not a complete guide but is a good self-learning help.
It can be also used as a quick reference. A good starting point for combustion studies. Then other books are required if complete treatment is required. Small but nice part of useful mathematics in appendix. Not a rigorous treatment but quick explanation of some topics related to CFD.
