The second edition of this practical text offers a broad
introduction to the engineering principles of chemical energy
conversion. Eugene L. Keating, Ph.D., P.E., a recognized authority
within academia, government, and industry, examines combustion
science and technology using fundamental principles. Thermochemical
engineering data and design formulations of basic performance
relationships appear in dual SI and English engineering dimensions
and units, helping you save time and avoid conversion errors.
New in the Second Edition
Streamlined organization that progressively develops fundamental
concepts
Extended section on fuel cells
New section on the nitrogen-oxygen reaction system
Additional coverage of environmental aspects of specific combustion
characteristics
New chapter on thermal destruction
Furnishing examples that demonstrate a proper engineering analysis
as well as important concepts relevant to the nature of combustion
devices, Applied Combustion, Second Edition explores the ideal
oxidation-reaction equation, fuel heat release rates, chemical
equilibrium, incomplete combustion, chemical kinetics, and
detonation, thermal explosion, and basic flame theories. The book
treats the features of chemical energy resources and presents a
thermochemical overview of current and potential solid, liquid, and
gaseous natural and synthetic fuel resources. It also describes the
fuel-engine interface characteristics of important external and
internal combustion heat engines in terms of fuel compatibility,
consumption rates, pollution characteristics, emission controls,
and energy conversion efficiencies.

Inclusive design, universal design and universal access are long
standing, familiar terms with clear and laudable goals. However,
their teaching and industrial uptake has been very limited. Many
products still exclude users unnecessarily for reasons ranging from
corporate insensitivity and the size of the market for inclusive
products to the individual designer's inability to design them.
This pragmatic approach to making inclusive design desirable to
industry addresses these issues and discusses why existing methods
have failed to be assimilated into industry. Through the use of
case studies and examples, Countering Design Exclusion introduces
the mind-set necessary to think through the challenges raised by
inclusive design and to adapt their solutions to the needs of
particular companies. The practical outlook will appeal to anyone
who wishes to take account of the largest possible part of the
population in their designs.
