Synopsis

Theory and Calculation of Heat Transfer in Furnaces covers the heat transfer process in furnaces, how it is related to energy exchange, the characteristics of efficiency, and the cleaning of combustion, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the simultaneous physical and chemical processes that occur in boiler combustion, flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer.

• Covers all the typical boilers with most fuels, as well as the effects of ash deposition and slagging on heat transfer
• Combines mature and advanced technologies that are easy to understand and apply
• Describes basic theory with real design that is based on meaningful experimental data

From the Back Cover

Theory and Calculation of Heat Transfer in Furnaces provides a bridge between the fundamental principles of radiation heat transfer in furnaces and real-world engineering applications. The book guides engineers in applying the basic principles of heat transfer to specific thermal calculations for boilers, showing how to understand and simplify a real and complex problem and then solve it using theoretical physics.Theory and Calculation of Heat Transfer in Furnaces delivers practical solutions to the operational problems specific to boiler design. It covers all the typical boilers, including power plant boilers, turbines, engines, and several other industry boilers and stoves. The book also covers most fuels such as coal, gas, oil, etc.Topics include:• Radiative characteristics of flame and flue gas (with walls)• Description of the relatively novel concept of heat transfer in fluidized beds• Thermal calculations for furnaces in three typical types of boilers• Coverage of the effects of ash deposition and slagging on the heat transfer of heating surfaces• Discussion of furnace heat transfer measurement, including flame emissivity and heat flux metersThis book offers the engineer a relatively simple and useful textbook which combines coverage of mature technologies as well as current advances, providing a valuable reference for complex engineering design endeavors.
