About this title

Synopsis

After a novel combustion process has been developed in the lab or on a pilot plant, it is crucial to safeguard proper functioning in the commercial installation. With increasing size of industrial combustors, environmental concerns and fuel flexibility, scale-up is more important than ever before. This book closes a gap in the literature on scale-up in combustion. It complements existing books on general scaleup principles by providing thte reader with specific information that is relevant to scale-up in combustion. What is covered in this book: - Scale-up principles - The concept of chemical similarity - Scale-up for biomass combustion - Scale-up of fluidized bed combustion - Scale-up of rotary kilns - Development of an alternative ignition system This book is addressed at scientists, engineers and practitioners in the field of combustion, particularly those who are interested in process development and process optimization of combustion on a large scale.
