Industrial and Process Furnaces

Industrial and Process Furnaces: Principles, Design and Operation, Third Edition?continues to provide comprehensive coverage of all aspects of furnace operation and design, including topics essential for process engineers and operators to better understand furnaces. New to this edition are: production, handling and utilization of alternative fuels such as biomass, hydrogen and various wastes; modelling of the process, combustion and heat transfer, their benefits, advantages and limitations; mitigation and removal of CO2 , role of solar and other renewable energy and recent research and the practical approach of the Whyalla steelworks to harnessing solar energy for sustainable steelmaking, hydrogen as a "clean fuel", with a discussion on the limitations of hydrogen supply owing to fresh water supply constraints, difficulty of storing and transporting hydrogen, and current socio-political impetus of CO2. Covers manufacture and utilization of hydrogen as a clean fuel Includes process modelling and expands on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with special focus on flames and burners, costs, efficiencies and future trends Expands on future trends including socio-political impacts on CO2 emissions and control
