The John Zink Hamworthy Combustion Handbook, Second Edition: Volume 1 - Fundamentals

This book is the definitive reference for researchers and engineers working in industrial combustion. It provides an up-to-date look at HPI/CPI industries, which have been transformed to a great degree by alternative fuels, advanced refining techniques, emissions standards and other new technologies. The physical and chemical principles of combustion are presented and explained in detail, in the context of industrial combustion. Coal combustion is covered, with new practices (such as gasification) explained. Modeling techniques used by researchers and engineers is presented-cold flow modeling, CFD-based modeling, and mathematical modeling. New is material included on emissions, combustion diagnostics, and training.
