Oxygen-Enhanced Combustion

Combustion technology has traditionally been dominated by air/fuel combustion. However two developments have increased the significance of oxygen-enhanced combustionânew technologies that produce oxygen less expensively and the increased importance of environmental regulations. Advantages of oxygen-enhanced combustion include less pollutant emissions as well as increased energy efficiency and productivity. Oxygen-Enhanced Combustion Second Edition compiles information about using oxygen to enhance industrial heating and melting processes. It integrates fundamental principles applications and equipment design in one volume making it a unique resource for specialists implementing the use of oxygen in combustion systems. This second edition of the bestselling book has more than doubled in size. Extensively updated and expanded it covers significant advances in the technology that have occurred since the publication of the first edition. Whatâs New in This Edition Expanded from 11 chapters to 30 with most of the existing chapters revised A broader view of oxygen-enhanced combustion with more than 50 contributors from over 20 organizations around the world More coverage of fundamentals including fluid flow heat transfer noise flame impingement CFD modeling soot formation burner design and burner testing New chapters on applications such as flameless combustion steel reheating iron production cement production power generation fluidized bed combustion chemicals and petrochemicals and diesel engines This book offers a unified up-to-date look at important commercialized uses of oxygen-enhanced combustion in a wide range of industries. It brings together the latest knowledge to assist those researching engineering and implementing combustion in power plants engines and other applications. . Language: English
