With an emphasis on how fuels and combustion impact economic and environmental interests, this text offers an up-to-date and balanced overview of the whole field of fuel science and technology. It explores the composition and combustion characteristics of a wide range of fuels, examines the dependence on combustion devices for the exploitation of fuel resources for producing heat and power, and discusses increasing the efficiency of energy production and use. The text also addresses the negative impact on the environment from fuel-consuming devices and activities associated with fuel and energy applications.
