Wet Combustion and Water Vapor Pump-cycle Efficiency

In the past, water was used as an anti-knock agent or as an 'additive' component to improve combustion quality and to boost engine power. Today, in a context of severe environmental requirements and energy saving responsibilities, the proper use of water continues to offer many possibilities to serve both environmental and energy savings targets. This book builds on previous work dedicated to improving combustion efficiency in reciprocating engines, gas turbines, and boilers by using additive water.
