An Introduction to Combustion: Concepts and Applications https://www.mheducation.com/cover-images/Jpeg_400-high/0073380199.jpeg 3 9780073380193 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 third edition updates and adds topics related to protection of the environment, climate change, and energy use. Additionally, a new chapter is added on fuels due to the continued focus on conservation and energy independence.

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.
