IndustrialCombustionTestingEdited by

Charles E. Baukal, Jr.John Zink Co. LLC, Tulsa,Oklahoma, USA

Until now, anyone conducting tests in the field ofindustrial combustion has been forced to spendtime searching through journals, magazines, con-ference proceedings, and other relevant literatureto get proven experimental methodologies. Neverbefore has there been a comprehensive one-stopreference that compiles this kind of information.

Save time with an application-specific layoutthat enables you to navigate directly to the

topic you are looking for...

The first resource of its kind, IndustrialCombustion Testing fills that gap, assembling thelatest testing techniques, serving the needs ofpracticing engineers, technicians, researchers, andstudents alike. This work satisfies a void in the lit-erature on industrial combustion testing and ben-efits anyone working in the field, including—butnot limited to—burner and furnace designers,researchers, end users, government regulators,and funding agencies.

This practical compendium:

• Demonstrates how to conduct experimentswith industrial scale combustion equipment

• Includes numerous case studies, pictures, fig-ures, graphs, and tables, and examples of howto apply their data

• Presents valuable information on advanceddiagnostics, burner and flare testing, and test-ing in combustors, including a variety of kilns,furnaces, and boilers

While academics have access to the information,they generally do not work at the large scales asso-ciated with industrial combustion and are there-fore often unfamiliar with how techniques areapplied in production applications. This booktakes that into consideration and is designed tohelp practitioners in both industry and academia.

Addressing some of themost important challenges facing the green era,this volume examines how to approach and applytechnology, economics, and policies to bringdown the costs involved with renewables. It is suit-able for students and professionals in resources,energy, and environmental engineering as well asin economic fields that focus on green energy.

This classification makes it possible toconsider all possible designs, including those usednow and those expected in the future. It alsoenables the author to develop scientific predictionsand optimal designs. In most cases, solutionsappear in analytical form and/or graphical form.

Tribology ofInterface LayersHooshang HeshmatMohawk Innovative Technology,Inc., Albany, New York, USA

Many tribological devices act as viable bearings incontrast to basic hydrodynamic theory. Similarly,powder films possess quasi-hydrodynamic featuresthat enable them to act as conventional fluid filmbearings. These phenomena have led to a noveldefinition of lubricants as intermediate layers,which are detailed in this book. It illustrates thatthe various lubrication modes, from dry to hydro-dynamic to powder lubrication, overlap to such adegree that they exist on a tribological spectrum.Based on experimental and theoretical work, thistext shows how the interdependence of powderand hydrodynamic lubrication exemplify this con-tinuum in tribological processes.
