Handbook Of Burner Technologies For Industrial Furnaces

This work is intended to provide support for the clean and efficient heating of industrial furnaces. The initial chapters of the Handbook of Burner Technology for Industrial Furnaces, Second Edition deal with the indispensable theoretical principles of combustion theory, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Only those aspects that are of importance for burner technology are examined. The succeeding chapters then proceed on to burner technology as such, and focus on combustion-system concepts, analyze pollutant generation and reduction, and discuss the recovery of heat for use in combustion-air preheating, the most important provision for the enhancement of energy-efficiency. This compact-format book, with its plethora of information, is an indispensable reference source for all persons who are professionally involved in any way at all with the heating and combustion-systems of industrial furnaces. The second edition of the Handbook of Burner Technology for Industrial Furnaces is released with colored illustrations and dual units (SI and English) in some chapters and diagrams. Features: -The "Industrial Burners" chapter outlines, with detailed examples, the essential types of industrial burners and their integration into the extremely diverse range of modern furnace-system concepts -The book discusses the present-day state of technological development in a practically orientated manner. -The reader is provided with a detailed view of all relevant principles, terms and processes in industrial combustion technology, and thus with important aids for his or her daily work.

The demands made on the energy-efficiency and pollutant emissions of industrial furnaces are rising continuously and have high priority in view of the latest increases in energy prices and of the discussion of climate change for which CO2 emissions are at least partly responsible. Great importance is now attached to increasing energy-efficiency in a large range of industrial sectors, including the steel industry and companies operating heat-treatment installations. This work is intended to provide support for those persons responsible for the clean and efficient heating of industrial furnaces.

Rapid development in the field precipitated by the increased demand for clean burner systems has made the Industrial Burners Handbook into the fields go-to resource. With this resource, bestselling author, editor, and combustion expert Charles Baukal, Jr. has put together a comprehensive reference dedicated to the design and applications of indust

This Handbook provides a basic reference source on the Art and Science of Industrial Heating with gaseous and liquid fuels. First printed in 1952 it has been updated continuously to reflect advances in the technology behind combustion equipment and controls and is now in its third edition. More than 100,000 printed copies have been distributed worldwide. The purpose of the handbook is to provide users of combustion equipment with the following: A basic explanation of the theory of combustion; Outlines for combustion, heat transfer, and fluid calculations; Charts and data to simplify and speed these calculations; A discussion of combustion equipment, its application, selection and operation. Although the stated scope of the handbook is Industrial Heating with gaseous and liquid fuels, the reader will find that the book also contains considerable information applicable to commercial heating and to solid fuels.

Until now, anyone conducting industrial combustion tests had to either rely on old methods, go scurrying through the literature to find proven applicable methodologies, or hire top-shelf consultants such as those that work for cutting-edge companies like John Zink. Manufacturers can no longer take industrial combustion for granted. Air and noise po

Mathematical Modelling of Gas-Phase Complex Reaction Systems: Pyrolysis and Combustion, Volume 45, gives an overview of the different steps involved in the development and application of detailed kinetic mechanisms, mainly relating to pyrolysis and combustion processes. The book is divided into two parts that cover the chemistry and kinetic models and then the numerical and statistical methods. It offers a comprehensive coverage of the theory and tools needed, along with the steps necessary for practical and industrial applications. Details thermochemical properties and "ab initio" calculations of elementary reaction rates Details kinetic mechanisms of pyrolysis and combustion processes Explains experimental data for improving reaction models and for kinetic mechanisms assessment Describes surrogate fuels and molecular reconstruction of hydrocarbon liquid mixtures Describes pollutant formation in combustion systems Solves and validates the kinetic mechanisms using numerical and statistical methods Outlines optimal design of industrial burners and optimization and dynamic control of pyrolysis furnaces Outlines large eddy simulation of turbulent reacting flows

This reference presents the classical perspectives that form the basis of heat treatment processes while incorporating descriptions of the latest advances to impact this enduring technology. The second edition of the bestselling Steel Heat Treatment Handbook now offers abundantly updated and extended coverage in two self-contained volumes:

Despite the length of time it has been around, its importance, and vast amounts of research, combustion is still far from being completely understood. Issues regarding the environment, cost, and fuel consumption add further complexity, particularly in the process and power generation industries. Dedicated to advancing the art and science of industr
