Fuels of Opportunity: Characteristics and Uses In Combustion Systems

Fuels of Opportunity: Characteristics and Uses In Combustion Systems by David Tillman 
Publisher: Elsevier Science; 1 edition (February 3, 2004) | ISBN: 0080441629 | Pages: 322 | PDF | 18.3 MB
As electricity generators and process industries are increasingly seeking less expensive fuels for the generation of electricity and process heat, there is an ever-increasing industry-led emphasise on exploring the possibility of utilising opportunity fuels. This book considers a diverse range of opportunity fuels and their application by addressing the following fundamental issues:


* What are the specific fuel properties of these opportunity fuels?
* What are the combustion/conversion characteristics of these fuels fired alone or in combination with conventional fossil fuels?
* How are they best applied in energy settings?
* What are the technical and environmental consequences of their use?

The John Zink Combustion Handbook

The John Zink Combustion Handbook
CRC Press; 1 edition | March 27, 2001 | ISBN-10: 0849323371 | 800 pages | PDF | 43.2 Mb

Despite the length of time it has been around, its importance, and vast amounts of research, combustion is still far from being completely understood. Industrial applications of combustion add environmental, cost, and fuel consumption issues to its fundamental complexity, and the process and power generation industries in particular present their own unique challenges

The John Zink Combustion Handbook is dedicated to improving that understanding and meeting those challenges. Under the leadership of Charles E. Baukal, Jr., top combustion engineers and technologists from the world-renowned John Zink Company have joined forces to bring you this landmark work— a synthesis of the multi-disciplinary background that will broaden your understanding, hone your skills, and further advance the art and science of industrial combustion.

Dynamics of Combustion Systems


A. K. Oppenheim, "Dynamics of Combustion Systems" 
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 3540773630 | edition 2008 | PDF | 368 pages | 6.9 mb


Combustion systems are confined fields of compressible fluids where exothermic processes of combustion take place, subject to boundary conditions imposed at its borders. The subject of Dynamics of Combustion Systems is presented in three parts. Part 1 - Exothermicity - considering the thermodynamic effects due to evolution of exothermic energy in a combustion system, it includes: Chapter 1 Thermodynamic Aspects; Chapter 2 Evolutionary Aspects; Chapter 3 Heat Transfer Aspects; and, Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetic Aspects. Part 2 - Field - exposing the dynamic properties of flow fields where the exothermic energy is deposited, it contains: Chapter 5 Aerodynamic Aspects; Chapter 6 Random Vortex Method; Chapter 7 Gasdynamic Aspects; and, Chapter 8 Gasdynamic Fronts. Part 3 - Explosions - revealing the dynamic features of fields and fronts due to rapid deposition of exothermic energy, it features: Chapter 9 Blast Wave Theory; Chapter 10 Self-Similar Solution; Chapter 11 Phase Space Method; and, Chapter 12 Detonation.
