Energy analysis of 108 industrial processes

Abstract

The detailed heat and material balances which are presented in this book were developed from process flow diagrams of 108 industrial processes, with technical input from consultants and manufacturers, and on-site verification studies. Data such as process temperature, pressure, fuel requirements, thermal efficiency and radiation, and convection losses are determined for varying industrial operations spanning the food products, textile, lumber and wood, paper, chemical, petroleum, rubber and plastics, glass, metals, machinery, transportation equipment, and instrument manufacturing industries.
