Industrial and Process Furnaces - Principles, Design and Operation

Informationen zum Autor Barrie Jenkins has held senior technical management roles in industry and academia. He currently advises major energy users and continues to lecture at a number of Universities. He is currently Engineering Director at Origen Power Ltd. Peter Mullinger held senior management roles with both equipment suppliers and end users before joining the University of Adelaide as Associate Professor in 1999. Now semi-retired, he continues to teach process design and process safety. 2nd edition. Covers the principles, design and operation of all industrial and process furnaces. Furnaces sit at the core of all branches of manufacture and industry, so it is vital that these are designed and operated safely and effi-ciently. This title provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of furnace operation and design, including topics essential for process engineers and operators to better understand furnaces.

Report

"The goal is not to explain how to design any particular furnace, but to introduce a more scientific approach to furnace design than the traditional methods of scaling from the previous design.For the second edition, they respond to reader requests by discussing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling at greater length and demonstrating its application in a new chapter profiling real furnace projects." --ProtoView.com, January 2014
