Book Description
Excerpt from Oil Firing for Kitchen Ranges and Steam Boilers The principal object now in view is to give a brief description of the combustion of heavy residues or fuel oil in a cooking range for culinary purposes. Some general remarks on the production of crude petroleum and fuel oil, together with other information relating thereto, is included, as, comparatively speaking, the average householder or hotel proprietor knows little or nothing of oil for firing purposes. Previous to the war, fuel oil had not been used in the kitchen as far as the author is aware, and it was entirely due to the great scarcity and high cost of coal, brought about by war conditions, that means were devised for firing kitchen ranges with similar residues to those that are used for firing purposes in the furnaces of steam generators. There are many excellent liquid-fuel burners on the market for steam-raising and other purposes, but neither in design nor method of application do they conform with the exacting requirements of the domestic kitchen, in simplicity, reliability, cleanliness, and range of power.

Book Description
Energy supply is foundational to modern society, but damaging to the environment. This book takes a 'systems view', from extraction of primary fuel, through conversion to usable energy, and transportation to point of use. It explores initiatives to generate electricity in an environmentally benign manner, and decarbonise the supply of energy.
