Heating is an important operation in almost all industrial processes at some point, and a large variety of heating techniques are available to the designer. Until now, however, no book has covered all of the diverse heating processes, their principles, choice, design materials, and limitations while addressing a range of complimentary topics, such as vacuum techniques, temperature measurement and control, fuels, and protective atmospheres. This self-contained resource does all that and more. Special topics include discussions of waste incineration and biogas generation. The book supplies solved problems for each stage, allowing readers to develop confidence in applying theory to practical situations.
