Abstract
Careful organization and empirical correlations help clarify the prodigious technical information presented in this useful reference.
- Written for practicing engineers, this comprehensive book supplies an overall framework of the combustion process; It connects information on specific reactions and reaction sequences with current applications and hardware; Each major group of combustion solids is evaluated; Among the many topics covered are:
- Various biomass forms
- The coalification process
- Grate, kiln, and suspension firing
- Fluidized bed combustion
- Gasification of solids
- The manufacturing process
"It provides a link between the scientific literature and the applications literature available to design engineers...An abundance of data which will make the book extremely valuable to practicing engineers...An excellent presentation of technical data and theory concerning combustion of solid fuels." --James M. Munro, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology
