This book presents the constructive and operational aspects of equipment used in combustion and gasification of solid fuels such as coal, biomass, solid residues, etc. This equipment includes boilers and gasifiers, which are used to transform coal or other solid fuels into gases that can be burned in turbines, in which moving generators are able to produce electrical power. The author details basic aspects of solid and gas combustion phenomena, which are essential to improvements and optimized design in existing boilers and gasifiers. He also introduces the methods to formulate a mathematical basis for this equipment, demonstrating possible routes from models to workable computer simulation problems.

Organized for quick and easy access to practical solutions, Analytical and Approximate Methods in Transport Phenomena provides a reference for the day-to-day problems encountered with heat, mass, or momentum transfer. Examining various analytical methods with several examples for each method, every chapter uses a simple three-digit code to designate the order of the differential equation, the amount of independent variables involved, and the highest class of boundary condition involved. Detailing how to derive solutions from mathematical methods, the text demonstrates how readers can simplify equations to reach a simple mathematical representation of physical phenomena.
