The rigorous treatment of combustion can be so complex that the kinetic variables,
R COMBUSTION HANDBOOK
fluid turbulence factors, luminosity, and other factors cannot be defined well enough to K
find realistic solutions. Simplifying the processes, The Coen & Hamworthy Combustion AV
Handbook provides practical guidance to help readers make informed choices about fuels, LI

burners, and associated combustion equipment—and to clearly understand the impacts

of the many variables. Editors Stephen B. Londerville and Charles E. Baukal, Jr., top
E
combustion experts from John Zink Hamworthy Combustion and the Coen Company, supply
a thorough, state-of-the-art overview of boiler burners that covers Coen, Hamworthy, and

Todd brand boiler burners.
Roughly divided into two parts, the book first reviews combustion engineering fundamentals. It

then uses a building-block approach to present specific computations and applications in

industrial and utility combustion systems, including those for

• Avoidance of excessive noise and vibration and the extension of equipment life under

adverse conditions HA

Coverage includes units, fluids, chemistry, and heat transfer, as well as atomization, NW
computational fluid dynamics (CFD), noise, auxiliary support equipment, and the combustion D

of gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels. Significant attention is also given to the formation,

A ready reference and refresher, this unique handbook is designed for anyone involved in
combustion equipment selection, sizing, and emissions control. It will help readers make
calculations and decisions on design features, fuel choices, emissions, controls, burner
selection, and burner/furnace combinations with more confidence.
