Combustion

Combustion Engineering is the study of rapid energy and mass transfer usually through the common physical phenomena of flame oxidation. This work covers the physics and chemistry of this process and the engineering applications - from the generation of power such as the internal combustion automobile engine to the gas turbine engine.
