Inhaltsangabe

Modeling of Combustion Systems provides accessible instruction for the operator or engineer to model combustion responses such as NOx, CO, flame dimensions, or heat flux as a function of input factors, such as excess oxygen, firing rate, furnace temperature, and fuel type. Retaining the emphasis on practical semiempirical modeling of boilers, process heaters, and reactors, such as ethylene cracking units and ammonia and hydrogen reformers, the second edition expands the approach to include combustion air fans and representation of complex models (direct numerical simulations or computational fluid dynamics) in concise forms. It also shows how to design experiments to collect the most data with the fewest experiments and model real unit behavior with engineering accuracy. This book is intended for technicians, operators, and engineers working with fired equipment such as boilers, reactors, and process heaters. It includes 65 fully worked examples in MS Excel with detailed instructions. All example spreadsheets are available for download from the publisher’s website

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Joseph Colannino earned his undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from the California Polytechnic University at Pomona (B.S.Ch.E) and his master’s degree in research management from the University of Oklahoma (MSKM, emphasis ODYN) and holds a Ph.D. in theology. With more than forty years’ experience in the combustion and fuels industries, his work includes combustion equipment of all stripes. Dr. Colannino has consulted for many industries including paper and pulp, petroleum and petrochemical, municipal solid waste-to-energy, electrical generation, and petroleum and petrochemicals plants for a wide variety of reactors and fired heaters including ethylene-cracking units, hydrogen-reforming units, and many process heaters. He pioneered or applied many novel NOx remediation strategies and holds scores of related patents on combustion equipment in revenue-producing service. Dr. Colannino is a registered professional engineer in the State of California and currently Chief Technology Officer for Faber Burner Company. He is also an accomplished musician and artist and recently published an illustrated catechetical translation of the Biblical book of Revelation from the original Greek.
