Combustion Engineering a topic generally taught at the upper undergraduate andgraduate level in most mechanical engineering programs and many chemicalengineering programs is the study of rapid energy and mass transfer usuallythrough the common physical phenomena of flame oxidation. It covers the physicsand chemistry of this process and the engineering applicationsfrom thegeneration of power such as the internal combustion automobile engine to thegas turbine engine. Renewed concerns about energy efficiency and fuel costsalong with continued concerns over toxic and particulate emissions have keptthe interest in this vital area of engineering high and brought about newdevelopments in both fundamental knowledge of flame and combustion physics aswell as new technologies for flame and fuel control. «
