Combustion Engineering

Book Description
Combustion Engineering provides detailed coverage of the major combustion technologies and fuels. It introduces fundamental combustion concepts with a strong emphasis on their use in design. Numerous tables and appendixes featuring data and practical formulas further support this design emphasis. Fundamental concepts are discussed within the context of their application. The numerous applications include gasoline and diesel engines, gas and oil-fired furnaces, gas turbines, and fixed and fluidized beds. The text also features numerous problems and worked examples, as well as an accessible mathematical treatment. Qualitative discussion of advanced modeling methods is also included.

Synopsis
This text provides coverage of the major combustion technologies and fuels. It introduces the fundamental combustion concepts with a strong emphasis on their use in design, and as such each concept is discussed within the context of its application. The applications include petrol and diesel engines, gas and oil-fired furnaces, gas turbines, and fixed and fluidized beds. Some novel designs are included, such as fibre matrix burners, low emissions engines, Babbington oil burners, homogenous compression ignition engines, and circulating fluidized beds. The book features numerous problems and worked examples, and the mathematical treatment is presented in an accessible manner. In addition, a qualitative discussion of advanced modelling methods is included
