INDUSTRIAL BURNERS HANDBOOK

There's still quite a bit to be learned about fire, notes Baukal (burner and flare research and development, John Zink Co.), especially in the area of industrial combustion processes related to metals and minerals production, waste incineration, power generation, and materials drying. He presents 21 chapters covering the engineering basics of industrial burners and burner designs. Before discussing individual burner designs, chapters look at heat transfer, burner design, combustion controls, burner testing, and burner modeling. Types of burners covered include high-velocity, regenerative, thermal radiation, natural-draft, duct, and oxy-fuel burners.
