This volume an up-to-date reference for all aspects of power plant engineering. Coverage ranges from engineering economics to coal and limestone handling, from design processes to plant thermal heat balances. Both theory and practical applications are covered, giving engineers the information needed to plan, design, construct, upgrade, and operate power plants. The authors review all major power generating technologies, giving particular emphasis to current approaches. The book includes coverage of related components and systems in power plants such as turbine-generators, feedwater heaters, condenser, and cooling towers; definitions and analyses of the features of various plant systems; and discussions of promising future technologies. It should be of interest to mechanical, electrical, design and environmental engineers.
