Combustion and Incineration Processes

Applications in Environmental Engineering, Fourth Edition

About this book

In our "throwaway" society, with landfills filled to capacity, interest in incineration- and conversion-based waste management technologies continues to grow. Increasing net waste generation rates within U.S. metropolitan centers, skyrocketing transportation costs for waste hauling, and the enticement of increased electrical revenues from "green" p

Combustion
and
Incineration
Processes
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
meth-
ods
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.
