3rd Edition . , overdraft. and dop. - Moscow: Promstroyizdat, 1954. - 500 s. The textbook is intended for the preparation of technicians for the production of cement and other binders, products of construction ceramics and glass . The course "Heat engineering in the building materials industry" is a discipline in which processes and installations for the heat treatment of building materials are studied. In the construction materials industry, a wide variety of thermal installations are used: furnaces, dryers, autoclaves, etc. The heat needed for production purposes is obtained mainly from the combustion of fuel. Only in rare cases is electric heating used .. Properties and types of fuel. General properties of fuels. Types of fuel. Fuel storage. Combustion process calculations.
