EBook Description: Thermal Processing of Waste is one of the great eBooks available to download from our website. There are more than 500 Textbooks, Business Books & Travel Guides in our book collection.

Environmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to protect and utilise natural resources, and improve environmental quality to enable healthy ecosystems and comfortable habitation of humans. The aim of this introductory book is to provide a concise and comprehensive coverage on environmental engineering. The book content covers the fundamental concepts/theories and their applications in environmental engineering. The key topics include environment, ecosystems, remote sensing of environment, environmental risk, water supply, water pollution control, solid waste, air pollution, noise pollution, climate change - impacts, mitigation and adaptation.

Biomass Properties and Fire Prediction Tools

This review presents literature involving characteristics and fire behaviour prediction models for pine species. The first part analyzes experimental data for pine needles characteristics, and laboratory results for vegetation layer fire behaviour. The second part gives consideration to models used to predict surface fire behaviour. Also presented are approaches employed in describing the heating up, ignition and vegetation burning, and the effect of these processes on the flow parameters in the fire zone. Data for model verification is in addition submitted.

Energy supply in the earlier industrial era

This book commences discussion at the industrial revolution and attempts to unfold the chronology of energy supply between then and the First World War. Coal features throughout the book and there is also detailed coverage of the early years of the oil industry. Political and social factors and the interplay of those with fuel demand are emphasised.
