• Provides orderly, systematic coverage of industrial burner design and applications
• Addresses a wide range of burner types, including high velocity, regenerative, natural draft, porous radiant, radiant tube, and radiant wall burners
• Discusses a variety of fuel compositions
• Examines burner noise, controls, and physical modeling-topics not adequately treated in any other industrial combustion reference

Rapid developments in the field precipitated by the increased demand for clean burner systems have rendered much of the published literature outdated. With the Industrial Burners Handbook, best-selling author, editor, and combustion expert Charles Baukal, Jr. fills this gap.

This handbook is a comprehensive reference dedicated to the design and applications of industrial burners. In addition to a solid introduction to combustion and burner fundamentals, an outstanding panel of contributing authors address all major burner types and explore a range of topics never before adequately covered in a handbook, including noise, burner controls, and physical modeling.
