The Coen & Hamworthy Combustion Handbook

The rigorous treatment of combustion can be so complex that the kinetic variables fluid turbulence factors luminosity and other factors cannot be defined well enough to find realistic solutions. Simplifying the processes The Coen & Hamworthy Combustion Handbook provides practical guidance to help you make informed choices about fuels burners and associated combustion equipmentâand to clearly understand the impacts of the many variables. Editors Stephen B. Londerville and Charles E. Baukal Jr top combustion experts from John Zink Hamworthy Combustion and the Coen Company supply a thorough state-of-the-art overview of boiler burners that covers Coen Hamworthy and Todd brand boiler burners. A Refresher in Fundamentals and State-of-the-Art Solutions for Combustion System Problems Roughly divided into two parts the book first reviews combustion engineering fundamentals. It then uses a building-block approach to present specific computations and applications in industrial and utility combustion systems including those for Transport and introduction of fuel and air to a system Safe monitoring of the combustion system Control of flows and operational parameters Design of a burner/combustion chamber to achieve performance levels for emissions and heat transfer Avoidance of excessive noise and vibration and the extension of equipment life under adverse conditions Coverage includes units fluids chemistry and heat transfer as well as atomization computational fluid dynamics (CFD) noise auxiliary support equipment and the combustion of gaseous liquid and solid fuels. Significant attention is also given to the formation reduction and prediction of emissions from combustion systems. Each chapter builds from the simple to the more complex and contains a wealth of practical examples and full-color photographs and illustrations. Practical Computations and Applications for Industrial and Utility Combustion Systems A ready reference and refresher this unique handbook is designed for anyone involved in combustion equipment selection sizing and emissions control. It will help you make calculations and decisions on design features fuel choices emissions controls burner selection and burner/furnace combinations with more confidence. . Language: English
