Fuels of Opportunity:
Characteristics and Uses In Combustion Systems - $167.00

|
As
electricity generators and process industries are
increasingly seeking less expensive fuels for the
generation of electricity and process heat, there is an
ever-increasing industry-led emphasize on exploring the
possibility of utilizing opportunity fuels.
This
book considers a diverse range of opportunity fuels and
their application by addressing the following fundamental
issues:
* What are the specific fuel properties of these
opportunity fuels?
* What are the combustion/conversion characteristics of
these fuels fired alone or in combination with
conventional fossil fuels?
* How are they best applied in energy settings?
* What are the technical and environmental consequences of
their use?
In considering these fuels the book presents detailed
updated information on fuel characterization approaches
and fuel utilization technologies.
Audience
Mechanical and chemical engineers involved in energy
generation/energy use and fuel specialists
