Download or read book Combustion written by Irvin Glassman and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 775 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout its previous four editions, Combustion has made a very complex subject both enjoyable and understandable to its student readers and a pleasure for instructors to teach. With its clearly articulated physical and chemical processes of flame combustion and smooth, logical transitions to engineering applications, this new edition continues that tradition. Greatly expanded end-of-chapter problem sets and new areas of combustion engineering applications make it even easier for students to grasp the significance of combustion to a wide range of engineering practice, from transportation to energy generation to environmental impacts. Combustion engineering is the study of rapid energy and mass transfer usually through the common physical phenomena of flame oxidation. It covers the physics and chemistry of this process and the engineering applications—including power generation in internal combustion automobile engines and gas turbine engines. Renewed concerns about energy efficiency and fuel costs, along with continued concerns over toxic and particulate emissions, make this a crucial area of engineering. New chapter on new combustion concepts and technologies, including discussion on nanotechnology as related to combustion, as well as microgravity combustion, microcombustion, and catalytic combustion—all interrelated and discussed by considering scaling issues (e.g., length and time scales) New information on sensitivity analysis of reaction mechanisms and generation and application of reduced mechanisms Expanded coverage of turbulent reactive flows to better illustrate real-world applications Important new sections on stabilization of diffusion flames—for the first time, the concept of triple flames will be introduced and discussed in the context of diffusion flame stabilization

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combustion Engineering, Second Edition maintains the same goal as the original: to present the fundamentals of combustion science with application to today’s energy challenges. Using combustion applications to reinforce the fundamentals of combustion science, this text provides a uniquely accessible introduction to combustion for undergraduate students, first-year graduate students, and professionals in the workplace. Combustion is a critical issue impacting energy utilization, sustainability, and climate change. The challenge is to design safe and efficient combustion systems for many types of fuels in a way that protects the environment and enables sustainable lifestyles. Emphasizing the use of combustion fundamentals in the engineering and design of combustion systems, this text provides detailed coverage of gaseous, liquid and solid fuel combustion, including focused coverage of biomass combustion, which will be invaluable to new entrants to the field. Eight chapters address the fundamentals of combustion, including fuels, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, flames, detonations, sprays, and solid fuel combustion mechanisms. Eight additional chapters apply these fundamentals to furnaces, spark ignition and diesel engines, gas turbines, and suspension burning, fixed bed combustion, and fluidized bed combustion of solid fuels. Presenting a renewed emphasis on fundamentals and updated applications to illustrate the latest trends relevant to combustion engineering, the authors provide a number of pedagogic features, including: Numerous tables with practical data and formulae that link combustion fundamentals to engineering practice Concise presentation of mathematical methods with qualitative descriptions of their use Coverage of alternative and renewable fuel topics throughout the text Extensive example problems, chapter-end problems, and references These features and the overall fundamentals-to-practice nature of this book make it an ideal resource for undergraduate, first level graduate, or professional training classes. Students and practitioners will find that it is an excellent introduction to meeting the crucial challenge of engineering sustainable combustion systems in a cost-effective manner. A solutions manual and additional teaching resources are available with qualifying course adoption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing clean, sustainable energy systems is a pre-eminent issue of our time. Most projections indicate that combustion-based energy conversion systems will continue to be the predominant approach for the majority of our energy usage. Unsteady combustor issues present the key challenge associated with the development of clean, high-efficiency combustion systems such as those used for power generation, heating or propulsion applications. This comprehensive study is unique, treating the subject in a systematic manner. Although this book focuses on unsteady combusting flows, it places particular emphasis on the system dynamics that occur at the intersection of the combustion, fluid mechanics and acoustic disciplines. Individuals with a background in fluid mechanics and combustion will find this book to be an incomparable study that synthesises these fields into a coherent understanding of the intrinsically unsteady processes in combustors.
Download or read book Turbulent Non premixed Swirl Stabilized Flames of Gaseous and Liquid Fuels in a Gas Turbine Model Combustor written by Sandipan Chatterjee and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulent non-premixed swirl-stabilized flames of gaseous and liquid fuels were investigated experimentally in an optically-accessible gas turbine model combustor. Propane/air and ethylene/air flames were operated at three global fuel-air equivalence ratios. Spray flames of liquid n-heptane fuel were stabilized at six global fuel-air equivalence ratios. The velocity, reaction zone structure and soot measurements were performed using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry, planar laser induced fluorescence of OH radicals and laser induced incandescence, respectively. In all the experimented test flow cases, the time-averaged velocity data show the presence of two large recirculation zones, separated by a zone of high velocity swirled inflow. The inner recirculation zone, which surrounds the combustor axis, shows high turbulence intensities. In gaseous fuel flames, the inner recirculation zone also contained most of the combustion-generated soot concentration of the flow field of gaseous fuel flames. The flow field regions exterior to the inner recirculation zone showed negligible soot values mainly due to the soot oxidation caused by the high intensity turbulence as well as strong OH intensity near the recirculation zone boundary. The time-averaged soot values showed strong sensitivity to changes in the air flow rates. The changes in the air flow rate mostly increased the soot intermittency, while the instantaneous soot concentrations stayed nearly constant. Intensified turbulence as well as shortening of flow time for soot chemistry are speculated to be the reasons for the high sensitivity of soot values to air flow rates. Further, in n-heptane/air flames, the velocity data showed a region of high velocity fuel droplets, positioned in-between two large recirculation zones. The boundary of the inner recirculation zones showed the heat release events, thereby leading to high OH counts. The OH fluorescence profiles showed the major role played by the recirculation zones in fuel droplet evaporation, forming the evaporated fuel-air reactant mixture, and subsequently, igniting the reactant mixture in the presence of hot combustion products and active radicals.
