Introduction to Combustion is the leading combustion textbook for undergraduate and graduate students because of its easy-to-understand analyses of basic combustion concepts and its introduction of a wide variety of practical applications that motivate or relate to the various theoretical concepts. This is a text that is useful for junior/senior undergraduates or graduate students in mechanical engineering and practicing engineers. The fourth edition updates and adds topics related to the role of combustion in a sustainable energy future, and modern open-source software has been integrated throughout.

About the Author

Stephen Turns

Stephen R. Turns received degrees in mechanical engineering from The Pennsylvania State University (B.S., 1970), Wayne State University (M.S., 1974), and the University of Wisconsin at Madison (Ph.D., 1979). He was a research engineer at General Motors Research Laboratories from 1970 to 1975. He joined the Penn State faculty in 1979 and is currently Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering. Dr. Turns taught a wide variety of courses in the thermal sciences and received several awards for teaching excellence at Penn State. In 2009, he received the American Society of Engineering Education’s Ralph Coats Roe award. Dr. Turns had conducted research in several combustion-related areas. He is a member of The Combustion Institute, the American Institute of Aeronautics, the American Society of Engineering Education, and the Society of Automotive Engineers. Dr. Turns is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Daniel C. Haworth

Daniel C. Haworth received degrees in mechanical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (B.S., 1979) and Cornell University (Ph.D., 1986). He was a research engineer at General Motors Research Laboratories from 1986 to 1999 and taught as an adjunct professor at Oakland University during that time. He joined the Penn State faculty in 1999 and is currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering. Dr. Haworth teaches courses in the thermal sciences and computational fluid mechanics. His research is in computational turbulent combustion, with applications to reciprocating-piston internal combustion engines and other devices. In 2003, he received the SAE International Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award. He is a member of the Division of Fluid Dynamics of the American Physical Society and of the Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society. Dr. Haworth is a Fellow of the Combustion Institute, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and SAE International (the Society of Automotive Engineers).
