Grigoriev, Rundygin – Technology of Combustion of Organic Fuels. Energy Fuels. Textbook
The textbook by Grigoryev and Rundygin, “Fossil Fuel Combustion Technology. Energy Fuels,” complies with the state educational standard for bachelor’s degree training in the field of 140400 “Engineering Physics,” and the discipline OPD.F.08 “Applied Physics.”
The textbook by Grigoryev and Rundygin, “Fossil Fuel Combustion Technology. Energy Fuels,” examines the properties and characteristics of fuels of organic origin. It presents the characteristics of energy fuels (solid, liquid, and gaseous) from both exploited and prospective deposits. It also provides the fundamentals for calculating the material and heat balances of fuel combustion. These characteristics are essential as initial and reference data for calculation assignments and laboratory work, coursework and projects, diploma projects, and undergraduate and graduate research projects.
Grigoryev and Rundygin’s manual “Fossil Fuel Combustion Technology. Energy Fuels” is recommended by the Educational and Methodological Association for University Polytechnic Education as a textbook for students of higher education institutions studying in the 140400 program “Engineering Physics.”
It may be useful for students studying friction theory, fuel preparation for combustion, and the calculation and design of boiler and furnace equipment in the courses “Fundamentals of Physicochemical Processes of Thermal Energy Production,” “Fossil Fuel Combustion Technology,” “Steam Boilers,” “Combustion Theory,” “Boiler Plant Equipment,” and “Thermal Power Plants” as part of undergraduate and graduate programs.
Fossil fuel is currently the main source for generating heat and electricity. The country produces approximately one-seventh of the world’s primary fuel energy resources and is one of the largest exporters of gas and oil. The country’s vast territory contains vast reserves of gas, coal, oil, and other fuels. Our country’s forests produce approximately one-eighth of the Earth’s plant biomass.
Technical specialists in thermal physics and thermal power engineering must possess a thorough understanding of fuels, their properties, and characteristics in order to accurately model combustion processes, develop new technologies for the energy use of organic fuels, and effectively address energy and resource conservation issues.
Approximately 200 types of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels are used to meet our country’s energy needs. Each fuel has its own characteristics and quality indicators. Without knowledge and consideration of the characteristics and quality indicators of the fuel used, the planning, setup, and operation of power plants are impossible.
However, information on energy fuels has become difficult to access for widespread use in recent years, and what is available in reference literature and regulatory documents published in the 1970s and 1980s is significantly outdated.
Furthermore, in accordance with the updated State Fuel Standards, a new (international) system of fuel masses (states) has been introduced, some indicators and methods for determining fuel quality indicators have been clarified, a new system of notations for certain fuel characteristics has been introduced, and a new system of SI units has been introduced.
The authors of the textbook, Grigoryev and Rundygin – “Technology of Combustion of Organic Fuels: Energy Fuels,” have endeavored to take into account all these changes, summarized the most recent data on the nomenclature and characteristics of the fuels used in the State Fuel Standards, and clarified definitions, concepts, and notations to account for these changes.
This textbook, Grigoryev and Rundygin – “Technology of Combustion of Organic Fuels: Energy Fuels,” provides an overview of the characteristics of the main types of organic fuels used in the CIS countries for thermal energy generation.
The appendix to the textbook provides reference characteristics of organic fuels necessary for thermal engineering calculations, as well as a list of current standards used to determine fuel quality indicators.
