Modelling of Gas-Fired Furnaces and Boilers provides a comprehensive description of the physical and mathematical modelling techniques used in the design and developmentof modern gas-fired industrial heating plant. It brings together, under one cover, a wealth of knowledge drawn from within British Gas and other energy supply and process industries. The book is self-contained and the topics covered include basic combustion theory, the fundamentals of scaling and similarity criteria, convective and radiative heat transfer, and experimental and mathematical modelling techniques. A number of case studies are also described to demonstrate the application of modelling to practical plant design. The text in intended for use by plant designers and researchers who have little previous experience. It is also a practical handbook of techniques, data and references and will be of interest to those with previous modelling experience.
