Furnaces sit at the core of all branches of manufacture and industry, so it is vital that these are designed and operated safely and efficiently. This reference provides all of the furnace theory needed to ensure that this can be executed successfully on an industrial scale.
Industrial and Process Furnaces: Principles, Design and Operation, 2e, provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of furnace operation and design, including topics essential for process engineers and operators to fully understand furnaces. This includes the combustion process and its control, furnace fuels, efficiency, safety and emissions. These elements and more are brought together to illustrate how to achieve optimum design and operation, with real-world case studies to showcase their application.
With its practical, stepped approach, the first edition of Industrial and Process Furnaces quickly became an important resource for those working with furnaces. This new edition, completely revised and up-to-date, follows the same approach, now with even more practical applications. Also new to this edition: CFD and its many applications to furnace design and operation, cost, future trends and more on flames and burners, and efficiencies.
