Description
TAYLOR & FRANCIS Combustion Engineering 3Ed (Hb 2022) by BRYDEN K.
Combustion Engineering, Third Edition introduces the analysis, design, and building of combustion energy systems. It discusses current global energy, climate, and air pollution challenges and considers the increasing importance of renewable energy sources, such as biomass fuels.Mathematical methods are presented, along with qualitative descriptions of their use, which are supported by numerous tables with practical data and formulae, worked examples, chapter-end problems, and updated references. The new edition features new and updated sections on solid biofuels, spark-ignition, compression-ignition, soot and black carbon formation, and current energy policies.Features include:Builds a strong foundation for design and engineering of combustion systems.Provides fully updated coverage of alternative and renewable fuel topics throughout the text.Features new and updated sections on solid biofuels, spark-ignition, compression-ignition, soot and black carbon formation, and current energy policies.Includes updated data and formulae, worked examples, and additional chapter-end problems.Includes a Solutions Manual and figures slides for adopting instructors.This text is intended for undergraduate and first-year graduate mechanical engineering students taking introductory courses in combustion. Practicing heating engineers, utility engineers, and engineers consulting in energy and environmental areas will find this book a useful reference. Preface. 1. Introduction to Combustion Engineering.
