Despite the length of time it has been around, its importance,
and vast amounts of research, combustion is still far from being
completely understood. Issues regarding the environment, cost, and
fuel consumption add further complexity, particularly in the
process and power generation industries. Dedicated to advancing the
art and science of industrial combustion, The John Zink Hamworthy
Combustion Handbook, Second Edition covers the fundamental concepts
and theory, design and operations, and important industry
applications. Now in three volumes, this second edition of the
bestselling handbook has been completely updated and expanded to
provide an up-to-date look at industrial combustion.
Under the leadership of Charles E. Baukal, Jr., top engineers
and technologists from John Zink Hamworthy Combustion offer
insights on a wide range of topics. Volume 1 introduces the
interdisciplinary fundamentals, including chemistry, fluid flow,
and heat transfer. A field manual for operators, engineers, and
managers, Volume 2 looks at equipment design and operations, from
testing to installation and maintenance to troubleshooting.
Building on the first two volumes, Volume 3 examines industry
applications such as process burners, boiler burners, process
flares, thermal oxidizers, and vapor control.
What s New in This Edition - Highlights
- Extensive updates and revisions throughout, reflecting new
standards, energy sources, processes, and conservation
concerns
- Updated information on HPI/CPI industries, including
alternative fuels, advanced refining techniques, emissions
standards, and new technologies
- New practices in coal combustion, such as gasification
- The latest developments in cold-flow modeling, CFD-based
modeling, and mathematical modeling

control equipment
This second edition continues to provide the comprehensive
coverage, up-to-date information, and visual presentation that made
the first edition an industry standard. Featuring color
illustrations and photographs throughout, this definitive guide
helps you broaden your understanding of industrial combustion to
better meet the challenges of this dynamic field.
