Description
Summary:"Modeling of Combustion Systems provides accessible instruction for the operator or engineer to model combustion responses such as NOx, CO, flame dimensions, heat flux, or others as a function of input factors such as excess oxygen, volumetric heat release, and fuel composition. Retaining the emphasis on practical semiempirical modeling of boilers, process heaters, and reactors, such as ethylene cracking units and ammonia and hydrogen reformers, the second edition expands the approach to include combustion air fans and representation of complex models (direct numerical simulations or computational fluid dynamics) in concise forms with engineering accuracy over the range of interest. The text shows how to design experiments to collect the most data with the fewest experiments and model real unit behavior with engineering accuracy. The work now boasts 65 fully worked examples in Excel with detailed instructions. To facilitate learning and retention, 120 figures and 80 tables accompany the text. The book is intended for practicing process, mechanical, and plant engineers working in refining and manufacturing industries. All example spreadsheets are available for download from the publisher's website"--
