The first strand involves a critical overview of the design of experimental methods used for examining the thermal behaviour of solid fuels [pyrolysis, liquefaction and gasification], while the second will emphasise chemical structures and molecular mass distributions of coal derived tars, extracts and pitches, petroleum-derived asphaltenes, and biomass derived heavy hydrocarbon liquids.Two major, interdependent strands in the study of fossil and renewable fuel utilisation are focused on within this text: (i) Thermal ...

The first strand involves a critical overview of the design of experimental methods used for examining the thermal behaviour of solid fuels [pyrolysis, liquefaction and gasification], while the second will emphasise chemical structures and molecular mass distributions of coal derived tars, extracts and pitches, petroleum-derived asphaltenes, and biomass derived heavy hydrocarbon liquids.Two major, interdependent strands in the study of fossil and renewable fuel utilisation are focused on within this text: (i) Thermal characterisation of solid fuels including various ranks of coals, biomass and waste, and, (ii) The analytical characterisation of heavy hydrocarbon liquids, covering coal, petroleum and biomass derived heavy fractions.

Seller's Description:
Fine. Not Issued with a Dust Jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. 343 pages. This book "looks at coal, biomass and heavy hydrocarbons as long-term energy sources and presents ideas developed for examining the thermochemical behavior of these materials. Results from over two decades of experiments and research have been summarized in the context of existing literature, resulting in a concise analysis of reactor design and analytical methods for the study of fossil and renewable fuel utilization."
