Softcover/ Publisher. McGraw-Hill, (Printed In Singapore) International Editions, (1998). Publishers Pictorial Softcovers, 9" X 6" X 1" [xxv] 613 pp. EX-LIBRARY COPY, [there are 2 small 'unobstrusive' Library Stamps, (1 on the top edge / 1 on 1/2 title page), Else A Clean, Tight Copy]. ISBN 0 07 115978 9 BACK COVER The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to engineering applications of combustion of liquid, gaseous, and solid fuels. Applications include gas-fired furnances; gasoline engines, oil-fired furnances, gas turbines, diesel engines, fixed beds, suspension burning, and fluidized beds. Although the emphasis is on technology, eight chapters deal with fundamental concepts necessary to understand the applications. The fundamentals are discussed in terms of their application and are at the level understandable to a senior engineering student or first-year graduate student. The book contains 60 worked examples, end-of-chapter summaries, and 220 problems. A large amount of data and practical formulas are introduced for those interested in design practice. Although the text is not mathematically demanding, it present discussions of advanced modeling methods to serve as motivation for additional graduate study. The most distinctive features of the book are its breadth of technology and the detailed level of the discussion of the applications.…

About the Author
Dr. Kenneth Ragland is an emeritus professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Throughout his career, he taught courses in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, combustion, and air pollution control. His early research was on solid fuel ram jet combustion, and gaseous and heterogeneous detonations. His research at UW–Madison focused on solid fuel combustion of coal and biomass as single particles, combustion in shallow and deep fixed beds, fluidized bed combustion, and combustion emissions. He served as chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering from July 1995 until his retirement in July 1999. In retirement his research has focused on the development of systems for planting, harvesting, and combusting biomass crops for energy. Currently, he is the vice president of Energy Performance Systems, Inc.
Dr. Kenneth "Mark" Bryden joined the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Iowa State University in 1998 after receiving his doctoral degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Prior to his studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he worked fourteen years in a wide range of engineering positions at Westinghouse Electric Corporation. This included eight years in power plant operations and six years in power plant engineering. More than ten of these years were spent in engineering management. Mark has an active research and teaching program in the areas of energy, combustion, and appropriate technology. He is particularly interested in biomass combustion and small cookstoves for the developing world. He is president of Engineers for Technical and Humanitarian Opportunities for Service (ETHOS) and is the program director for the Simulation, Modeling and Decision Science Program at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory. He teaches classes in combustion, sustainability, energy systems, and design for the developing world. He is the recipient of numerous teaching and research awards, including three R&D 100 awards within the past five years.
