Abstract

Combustion is dominant source of energy ever since the evolution of mankind. Combustion has widespread applications in many industrial and day-to-day applications including in transportation and power generation sectors, such as in gas turbines and internal combustion (IC) engines. Some by-product of fossil-fuel combustion namely NOx, soot and particulate are extremely harmful for the environment and the human health. Clean combustion technologies with high thermal efficiency are the need of the hour for mitigating the environmental implication of such undesirable emissions. This monograph covers a journey starting with fundamentals of combustion, experimental and numerical investigations of combustion in gas turbines and IC engines, optical diagnostics, and emission measurement and control. Several modern combustion technologies with a vast potential of reduction in emission are discussed.
