Combustion under sufficiently fuel-lean conditions can have the desirable attributes of high efficiency and low emissions.Lean Combustion: Technology and Control offers readers both the fundamentals and the latest developments in increased fuel economy and in decreased emissions, while still achieving the desired power output and performance. This volume brings together research and design of lean combustion systems across the technology spectrum in exploring the state of the art in lean combustion.
The book describes advances in the understanding of ultra-lean fuel mixtures and how new types of burners and approaches to managing heat flow can reduce problems often found with lean combustion (such as slow, difficult ignition, and frequent flame extinction). In addition to abundant references and examples of recent real-world applications, new to this edition are significantly revised chapters on IC engines and stability/oscillations, and a brand new chapter on case studies and examples. Written by a team of experts, this contributed reference book teaches readers to maximize efficiency and minimize both economic and environmental costs.
- A comprehensive collection of lean burn technology across the application space, allowing readers to compare and contrast similarities and differences
- Extensive update on IC Engines including compression ignition (diesel), spark ignition, and after-treatment
- Extensive update to Stability/Oscillations chapter
- Includes a new chapter on Case Studies/Examples
- Covers new developments in lean combustion using high levels of pre-heat and heat recirculating burners, as well as the active control of lean combustion instabilities

Derek Dunn-Rankin is a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Irvine. His current research activities include a study of the electrical aspects of microgravity combustion; using optical methods for measurements in combustion systems, and the direct combustion of methane hydrates. Dr. Peter Therkelsen is a Research Scientist in the Energy Technologies Area at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, focusing on the development and deployment of responsible energy efficiency and generation technologies. Dr. Therkelsen leads the LBNL Combustion Laboratory where he studies and develops high efficiency, fuel flexible, and low emission installed and portable heat and power systems. His current work is focused on developing lean combustion technologies that encourage the accelerated utilization of biofuels while meeting thermal demands and emissions regulations. Additionally, Dr. Therkelsen co-manages the LBNL Industrial Systems Team. In this role he conducts data driven studies of the costs and benefits of industrial energy efficiency measures and energy management systems and serves as a delegate of the United States at International Standards Organization meetings for energy management and savings.
