From the reviews: "This book is a nice description and a complete survey of combustion systems where exothermic processes take place. It is written by a specialist of this field. ... Many figures or photographs illustrate the book in a nice way. ... the book is mainly devoted to physicists and engineers. They will find here some interesting values of the parameters which are involved in combustion devices such as engines. ... ends with more than twenty pages of classical or historical references." (Alain Brillard, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1132 (10), 2008)
