Applied Combustion

Informationen zum Autor Eugene L. Keating Klappentext Few texts cover the full gamut of combustion engineering. Applied Combustion fills this gap, providing readers with an expanded engineering introduction to principles of applied thermochemical energy conversion, as well as numerous instances of practical application to a variety of current chemical heat engines and waste destruction systems. Early chapters cover fundamentals of combustion, formulated from general principles of chemistry, physics, and thermodynamics. The latter power chapters apply those fundamentals to fuel systems. While providing an excellent text for students, professionals in the field will find that its up-to-date examples and data make it an invaluable reference tool. Zusammenfassung Offers an introduction to the principles of applied thermochemical energy conversion, as well as numerous instances of practical application to a variety of chemical heat engines and waste destruction systems.
