ABSTRACT
This chapter section briefly attempts to establish the importance of heat transfer in industrial combustion by first looking at how much energy is consumed by industry and then by the number of recommendations for continued research into heat transfer for industrial combustion applications.
Industry relies heavily on the combustion process as shown in Table 1.1. The major uses for combustion in industry are shown in Table 1.2. Hewitt et al. (1994) have listed some of the common heating applications used in industry, as shown in Table 1.3.
