Summary

The 54 refereed papers in this volume establish the first in a series of biannual benchmarks for technologies that maximize energy conversion while minimizing undesirable emissions. Covering the entire range of industrial and transport combustion as well as strategies for energy R&D, these state-of-the-art contributions will be indispensable to mechanical and chemical engineers in academia and industry, and technical personnel in military, energy, and environmental agencies of government.
Among the topics covered in the book are - strategies: now and in the future; pulverized coal combustion; oil combustion; gas combustion; gas fired systems; biomass combustion; fluidized bed combustion; incinerators; internal combustion engines; and reaction kinetics.
