"This book is a follow-on to the author's bestseller, Principles of Combustion, Second Edition published in 2005. The text covers advanced topics of combustion and flame that are not covered anywhere else.

As with Kuo's earlier book, large numbers of examples and problems and a solutions manual are provided"--
