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.
