Abstract

The design and applications of the burners using natural gas have extensively been covered previously by Nasr et al. (Industrial sprays and atomisation. Springer, 2001, [1]) and Pritchard et al. (Industrial gas utilization, Engineering Principles and Practices, Bowker. British Gas Corporation, 1977, [2]). In the following section, however, a brief overview of various burners together with theoretical considerations, where appropriate, will be provided. This can also complement the subsequent sections in this chapter in terms of utilisation of natural gas relating to heat recovery, furnaces and elsewhere in the previous chapters.
