Combustion Texts or Other Resources?

[Saladsamurai]

Hey folks! I am currently working through my masters in mechanical engineering with a focus on combustion. I have an introductory text by Stephen Turns that is pretty good and also a more advanced text by Chung Law, but I welcome any other suggestions people might have; the more introductory, the better .

I am also looking for any decent online resources that people have found useful. Any suggestions are welcome.

I'm also in a MS program in Mechanical Engineering and just finished a class in Combustion. The book we used was "Principles of Combustion" by Kenneth Kuo (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0471046892/?tag=pfamazon01-20).

I will say that book was incredibly dry and very difficult to follow, but had a lot of good info in it. The class was only bearable because of the very good Professor. The professor actually recommended the combustion book by Stephen Turns to supplement our class, because it was more intro and easier to follow. More example problems as well. I did some research myself into this, and you'll be hard pressed to find something more intro than Turns, unfortunately.

The online resoursces I found to be worthwhile were both equilibrium calculators:
