Combustion System Design

In this book, prominent Russian engineer Yurity I. Khavkin compares historical combustion models for gas turbines with a discussion of modern combustion chambers. These models - gas turbines, combustion chambers, steam boilers, and other combustion applications - are compared through a series of examples. Readers will learn to: Understand different types of combustion devices Calculate size and combustion efficiency Review new types of flame tube heat protection with applications Design low Nox combustion chambers Reduce the effort necessary to create a new combustion chamber. Combustion System Design is targeted for the mechanical engineer with a specialty in gas turbines or boilers. Chemical engineers and gas turbine specialists also will find it very helpful.
