Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an extensive study into the processes of combustion in the fuel bed of hand-fired furnaces, with particular attention to low rates of combustion. These low rates are commonly used in household heating applications. The author extends upon previous work in the field, which focused on higher rates of combustion more typical of power plants and locomotives. Their findings show that despite the lower rates of combustion, the processes that occur in the fuel bed remain largely the same. The data presented here provides valuable insights into the behavior of fuel in these conditions and can be applied to optimizing the efficiency and completeness of combustion in stoves and home heating systems. 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. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, an in-depth study of the combustion of coal and furnace designs, is the result of investigations conducted by the US Bureau of Mines. The study delves into the processes of combustion in industrial furnaces in two parts. The initial part explores the steps involved in the fuel bed: the oxidation of carbon to CO2, the reduction of CO2 back to CO, and the distillation of volatile organic compounds. The second part concentrates on the combustion that takes place in the combustion space after fuel has been added to the burning coal. The author provides a wealth of practical and theoretical data on the factors that influence the rate and completeness of combustion, including volume and shape of combustion space, kind of coal utilized, rate of combustion, quantity of air supplied, and mixing rate of air with combustible gases. An examination of the data in this volume empowers professionals to design more efficient and cost-effective industrial furnaces for a variety of applications, with particular attention given to optimizing combustion of coal-fired systems.
