Maximize efficiency and minimize pollution: the breakthrough technology of high temperature air combustion (HiTAC) holds the potential to overcome the limitations of conventional combustion and allow engineers to finally meet this long-standing imperative. Research has shown that HiTAC technology can provide simultaneous reduction of CO2 and nitric oxide emissions and reduce energy consumption for a specific process or requirement.High Temperature Air Combustion: From Energy Conservation to Pollution Reduction provides the first comprehensive exposition of the principles and practice of HiTAC. With a careful balance of theory and practice, it reviews the historical background, clearly describes HiTAC combustion phenomena, and shows how to simulate and apply the technology for significant energy savings, reduced equipment size, and lower emissions. It offers design guidelines for high performance industrial furnaces, presents field trials of practical furnaces, and explores potential applications of HiTAC in other fields, including the conversion of solid waste fuels to cleaner fuels, stationary gas turbine engines, internal combustion engines, and other advanced energy-to-power conversion systems.Developed through an intensive research project sponsored by the Japanese government, HiTAC now promises to revolutionize our paradigm for using all kinds of fossil, alternative, waste, and derived fuels for energy conversion and utilization in industry. This book is your opportunity to understand its principles, learn about the technology, and begin to use it to the benefit of your application, your company, and the environment.

The primary focus of this contributed volume is on providing cutting-edge developments in a number of critically important fields, including energy, combustion, power, propulsion, environment using fossil fuels, and the production and use of biofuels. The availability of clean and sustainable energy is more crucial now than ever before for all areas of energy use in power, mobility, and propulsion. In the future, the energy used will only grow due to the increase in population and enhanced standards of living.  This book includes contributions from globally recognized specialists from various regions of the world. They have provided the most recent advances in both basic and applied research on the creation of cleaner energy and its application for a variety of technologies, from microscale energy conversion to supersonic and hypersonic propulsion powered by hydrocarbon fuels. Clean and efficient energy conversion for various stationary and propulsion applications, including hypersonic propulsion, thermal management, emission control, and environmental issues for energy sustainability, are amongst the challenges and opportunities followed for the specific applications. In parallel, some of the other applications include the combustion of fossil and biofuels, clean energy production from low-grade materials such as waste and biomass, and alternative fuels via rigorous modeling and simulation, with a focus on efficiency and environmental issues. The present and future R&D activities include specially designed technical tracks and contributions from internationally recognized technical experts that reveal different but complementary viewpoints on fuels, combustion, power and propulsion, and air toxins. The development and implementation of novel energy conversion technologies require solid fundamental understanding, as well as research and development efforts at different scales, from bench to pilot to full scale. We conjecture that for the foreseeable future, hydrocarbon fuels will likely remain a major source of energy in all sectors of power, transportation, and propulsion, with a slow but steady increase in renewable energy resources in the overall energy mix. A multifaceted strategy is needed for the energy and environmental sustainability of all power and propulsion systems. This includes creating and utilizing alternative and renewable fuels, designing flexible fuel combustion systems that are simple to use with the new fuels, and developing cutting-edge, eco-friendly technologies to maximize the use of all types of gas, liquid, and solid fuels. This book provides a wealth of knowledge as a reference for practicing engineers, research engineers, researchers and managers in labs and industry, academic institutions, graduate students, and senior-year undergraduates studying mechanical, chemical, aerospace, energy, and environmental and industrial engineering.
