This solutions manual has been developed to supplement the third edition of AN
INTRODUCTION TO COMBUSTION: Concepts and Applications by S. R. Turns. The
solution to each problem is presented in the same format to encourage students to
develop an organized approach to problem solving. Although a more detailed format
could be adopted, the approach used here js, first, to present a list of given or readily
obtained informati
assumptions; fourth to present the solution, being careful to indicate equation numbers
; second, to list what is to be determined; third, to list the major
and other references; and, lastly, to comment on the solution. This last step, frequently
neglected by students, is quite important in that it can result in students reflecting on
what they have learned from the problem, questioning their assumptions, and, in
general, providing a wider context for the problem. The solution to each problem starts
on a new page to facilitate copying and posting.
Solutions to the following problems have been corrected from previous editions:
