In a world where the energy supply of the future is one of the great societal challenges, it is very timely to consider the role that combustion plays today.

The Combustion Institute is an international non-profit, scientific and educational organization, founded in 1954, which serves the purpose to promote and disseminate combustion research. Fundamental and applied scientific disciplines contribute to this research which has strong ties to technical and industrial processes.

It is an honor that The Combustion Institute (British section) in its newsletter volume 2010-2  has included three research articles of Prof. Dr. Shahid Munir. The titles of the research articles included are:
