Combustion is very much an interdisciplinary topic, drawing
together elements of chemistry, fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
It is an ingredient in many undergraduate degree programmes,
ranging from a pivotal role in fuel science through to a component
part of courses in chemical, process and building services
engineering. For many students in those disciplines where
combustion in heating plant is an important part of their studies,
there are often problems in coming to grips with the basic
principles underlying the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. In
particular, the concepts of chemical and related thermodynamic
changes can prove difficult to assimilate. The scientific
literature dealing with combustion tends to be rather polarised,
with a wealth of literature aimed at the specialist reader, but at
a basic level the fundamentals of this important process are often
treated rather tersely in textbooks on thermodynamics. The
objective of this book is to provide an introduction to the basic
principles of the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels in heating plant
for buildings and industrial processes. In those chapters where
practice in problem solving can make a positive contribution to
understanding, some numerical problems have been included.
Acknowledging the ever-widening use of computers in technical
education, a number of algorithms which can be easily coded up for
solving numerical problems have been incorporated in the text.
These can prove particularly useful in, for example, the
calculation of certain fluid properties, either for use in hand
calculation or for incorporation into larger programs.
