Sommario/riassunto |
|
Furnaces sit at the core of all branches of manufacture and industry, so it is vital that these are designed and operated safely and efficiently. This reference provides all of the furnace theory needed to ensure that this can be executed successfully on an industrial scale. Industrial and Process Furnaces: Principles, Design and Operation, 2e, provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of furnace operation and design, including topics essential for process engineers and operators to fully understand furnaces. This includes the combustion process and its control, furnace f |
