Combustión

This book, written primarily for the practicing engineer, is intended to fill a gap in the literature on pollution in industrial combustion. Many textbooks have been written on combustion, but these have included limited information about pollution from industrial applications. One of the purposes of this book is to synthesize, in a single, coherent reference source, a wealth of information from many relevant books, articles, and reports. A distinguishing feature of this book is that examines each topic in a somewhat specialized context to show how it affects pollution from industrial combustion processes. In Chapter 2, for example, the basics of combustion are considered, but from the focused perspective of combustion’s influence on pollution emissions. There is very little discussion of combustion kinetics, because this complicated subject is of more concern to researchers in the field than to practicing engineers. This book does not directly address subjects that have been more than adequately covered elsewhere, but, rather, examines those subjects in the context of how they influence the pollution generated by the combustion system.

This is the second edition of a book that was originally published by Alexander Blake. This edition contains revisions in each chapter, more design problems, and four additional new chapters. The underlying theme of the book “Practical Fracture Mechanics” has not been changed and the book is still intended for the design and practicing engineer. The new chapters deal with the fractographic analysis, fracture of composites, dynamic fracture, and experimental methods in fracture mechanics. Presented below is the preface from the first edition with some additions and deletions reflecting the new material included in the book.
