Synopsis

The growing need for sustainable energy solutions has driven research into co-combustion processes, where coal is blended with biomass to reduce emissions and enhance efficiency. This book overviews best practices to optimize the combustion processes through use of Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and offer a directed approach to solid fuel combustion modelling. It equips the reader with an understanding of combustion parameter optimization, understanding of modelling from a thermodynamic-fluid dynamic-mass transfer perspective.

Key features

1. Offers a specialized approach to solid fuel co-combustion, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model and optimize combustion processes for sustainable energy solutions
2. Combines theoretical and practical applications, with a focus on energy optimization and emissions reduction
3. Includes modeling of complex phenomena such as co-firing and chemical looping
4. Give insights into important sub-models required during combustion modelling forming the basis of reliable models
5. Contains detailed case studies and real-world applications

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in thermodynamics, combustion, energy engineering, fluid dynamics and clean processes.
