This fully illustrated reference brings you detailed coverage of the
full spectrum of equipment and processes used in the production of
electricity, from the basics of energy conversion, to prime movers,
generators, and boilers. The reader will find much useful information on
the characteristics of fuels, including coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear
and others, along with proper methods for handling them and their
residues. Also extensively covered are internal combustion engines,
steam turbines, and reciprocating steam engines. Feedwater treatment,
ash removal reliability, operation and maintenance considerations are
all examined in detail. The second edition expands coverage of
gasification of coal, gas turbines and effective use of generation in
place of efficiency measures.
