Fuel Property Estimation and Combustion Process Characterization: Conventional Fuels, Biomass, Biocarbon, Waste Fuels, Refuse Derived Fuel, and Other Alternative Fuels

Fuel Property Estimation and Combustion Process Characterization is a thorough tool book which provides readers with the most up-to-date valuable methodologies to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness of obtaining useful properties from waste and biomass. Kiang's experience of developing equations and methodologies that can readily obtain reasonable properties of wastes and biomass enables him to be able to provide guidance for designers and operators in the field, to ensure the design, operation and diagnostics of waste and biomass combustion systems is of the highest quality and runs at optimum efficiency. The information presented in this book will equip professionals and researchers in the renewable energy and mechanical engineering fields with detailed guidance on how to design and operate combustion systems to estimate and extract useful fuel to reduce waste and improve efficiency. Presents data on several types of waste and biomass for quick, on-site estimation of their combustion propertiesOffers information on properties of alternative and traditional fuels and empirical equations that can be directly used to calculate combustion parameters for designing and deploying combustion, gasification and pyrolysis systems, including the estimate of fuel surrogate from heating valueExamines the fundamentals of combustion applied to energy systems, including thermodynamics of traditional and alternative fuels combustion INDICE: 1.
