Page 18 - Biomass Gasification, Pyrolysis And Torrefaction Practical Design and Theory

Acknowledgments

The author is greatly indebted to a large number of students, professional
colleagues, and institutions who helped to revise numerous drafts of this edition
of this book and provided permission for the use of published materials. Many
students worked tirelessly to support the work on this book. Special efforts were
made by S. Rao, B. Acharya, A. Dhungana, and A. Basu. My hope is that what
is here will benefit at least some students and/or practicing professionals in
making the world around us a little greener and more habitable.
Finally, this book would not have materialized without the constant
encouragement of my wife, Rama Basu.
