In this chapter, some basic concepts in combustion are discussed. The combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel in a combustor is an important aspect of a gas turbine engine. Today, the most important issue relating to the combustor is emission and its control. There are also other issues such as combustion efficiency, stable operation and thermal stresses. Some of the basic ideas on fuels and combustion of the fuels discussed in this chapter will allow the reader to gain a better understanding of these issues. For a more detailed discussion of the topics related to combustion, the reader is referred to the book by Turns.
