Print on Demand. In this encyclopedic study of fuels and their combustion, the author reveals the chemistry behind energy production from mineral fuels and water power. The author first explores the history of fuels, detailing their origins and formation. Delving into the combustion reactions themselves, this book provides a detailed exploration of the combustion of the elementary fuels, gaseous fuels, and the combustion of fuels on grates—all grounded in the chemistry of the reactions. This analysis elucidates furnace efficiency, examining the distribution of heat losses, the flow of liquids and gases, and the transfer of heat. Concluding with a discussion of fuel conservation, the author emphasizes the efficient use of our natural resources, highlighting the importance of energy conservation and proper fuel utilization as a key factor in our energy future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Efficiency in combustion and fuel utilization is daily assum ing added importance as the most accessible supplies Of our best fuels approach depletion, and as fuel costs advance. Recent years have seen such widespread adoption Of new methods Of fuel utilization that the science Of combustion has not kept abreast Of practice. This book - the outgrowth Of a lecture course at the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology - covers the field broadly and in so far as possible points out the under lying principles on which further progress must be based. It is intended to meet the needs Of men using fuels in industry, and Of students in technical schools and colleges. It is believed that this volume will serve in two ways: first, by giving a com prehensive treatment of the subject, and second, by means Of numerous references guiding him into further and more intensive study.
In order to give the reader the proper viewpoint, the first subjects treated are the origin, composition and production Of the natural fuels - coal, petroleum and natural gas. In the chapters devoted to combustion equipment, representative types are described as illustrative Of modern design. Since the interpretation Of combustion data depends on calculations based on the common combustion reactions, this phase Of the subject is presented in considerable detail. Secondary or manufactured fuels - producer, water, Oil and coal gas - are given special prom inence in view Of their rapidly growing importance. Since the flow Of air and flue gases and heat transfer are inseparably connected with the capacity and efficiency Of combustion equip ment, the book concludes with three chapters dealing with these subjects. The decision as to the amount Of space to be allocated to each subject is a matter of individual judgment, and the authors, in making this decision, have been fortunate in securing the advice of many engaged in the industry.
