Description
Combustion under sufficiently fuel-lean conditions can have the desirable attributes of high efficiency and low emissions, this being
particularly important in light of recent and rapid increases in the cost of fossil fuels and concerns over the links between combustion
and global climate change. Lean Combustion is an eminently authoritative, reference work on the latest advances in lean combustion technology
and systems. It will offer engineers working on combustion equipment and systems both the fundamentals and the latest developments in
more efficient fuel usage and in much-sought-after reductions of undesirable emissions, while still achieving desired power output and
performance. This volume brings together research and design of lean combustion systems across the technology spectrum in order to explore
the state-of-the-art in lean combustion and its role in meeting current and future demands on combustion systems.
Readers will learn
about advances in the understanding of ultra lean fuel mixtures and how new types of burners and approaches to managing heat flow can
reduce problems often found with lean combustion such as slow, difficult ignition and frequent flame extinction. The book will also offer
abundant references and examples of recent real-world applications.
Audience
Professional Engineers in Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, and Chemical Engineering, particularly those involved with combustion engineering,
Manufacturing Engineers in the automobile, trucking, aerospace, aeronautical and energy generation industries, Upper Undergraduate and
First-year Graduate students in Mechanical, Chemical, Aerospace, and Automotive Engineering, Graduate Students in Chemistry and Physics
