Combustion and incineration processes. Applications in environmental engineering
This volume attempts to bring a measure of structure and understanding to those wishing to analyze, design, and operate incineration systems. Although the result cannot be expected to answer all questions and anticipate all problems, it will give the student or practicing engineer the quantitative and qualitative guidance and understanding to cope with this important sector of environmental control engineering. The analytical methods and computational tools used draw heavily on the disciplines of chemical and, to a lesser extent, mechanical engineering. Recognizing that many readers may not be familiar with the terms and concepts involved, the early chapters review the fundamental analysis methods of process engineering. Combustion and pyrolysis processes are then discussed, followed by a quantitative and qualitative review of the heat and fluid mechanics aspects of combustion systems. Building on the basic framework of combustion technology, combustion-based waste disposal is then introduced: waste characterization, incinerator systems, design principles and calculations.
