• Offers methods to formulate sound mathematical models for boilers, gasifiers, furnaces, and incinerators
• Shows how to interpret simulation results for the best design and operation of combustion and gasification equipment
• Describes key aspects of solid and gas combustion phenomena
• Provides detailed discussions of the basic and auxiliary equations used in specific projection models
• Includes applications of moving and fluidized beds

  Supplies an abundance of examples, models, and exercises for step-by-step instruction on the modeling and simulation of combustion and gasification machinery.

  Bridging the gap between theory and application, this reference demonstrates the operational mechanisms, modeling, and simulation of equipment for the combustion and gasification of solid fuels, clearly illustrating procedures to improve and optimize the design of future units and the operation of existing industrial systems with recommendations and guidelines from a seasoned professional in the field.
