Description

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.
