Great text on a fascinating topic with broad range of applications. Great reference for combustion phenomena!

This introductory text is motivating and informative. I enjoyed the methodical structure of the material - the gradual buildup from concepts and fundamental equations to simple systems and ultimately to turbulent flames. I anticipated that studying combustion would serve as a capstone to my previous study of thermodynamics, perhaps my favorite subject as an undergraduate student. In hindsight, I could have chosen among a number of subjects to serve this role.
