Synopsis:
This book contains several chapters including introduction of intumescent fire retardants, earlier developments and challenges of thermal performance, toxicity of binder system and intumescent ingredients. These are followed by the study of replacing expandable graphite by PER where extensive study was conducted to identify suitable contents and particle size of expandable graphite. A part of work on bauxite waste reinforced coating is also presented considering thermal performance, adhesion, and toxicity of coating for the safety of building and inhabitants. A chapter on reinforcing bio-filler in intumescent coating and their performance is also dedicated for the audiences. A new study on reinforcing short and long inorganic fibers in the coating and their thermal, char adhesion and toxicity is also presented. The hybridisation of the inorganic fibers and their influence on the coating performance is also devoted.

Synopsis:
Overcoming today’s energy and environmental problems necessitates various efforts by many parties involved in enhancing the potentials of various fuels and the conversion of energies. Concurrently, how the energy is utilized must also be considered holistically. Nonetheless, awareness of the need to improve energy efficiency and protect the environment still lacks in many parts of the world. This book aims to look at some of the numerous efforts on energy research. The book first delves into thermal energy, which involves works such as airconditioning systems. This is followed by works on fuel technology and light energy. The final section looks into the use of numerical methods to solve energy-related problems.
