This comprehensive volume provides a complete, authoritative, 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. Power Plant Engineering is the culmination of experience of hundreds of engineers
from Black & Veatch, a leading firm in the field for more than 80
years. The authors review all major power generating technologies,
giving particular emphasis to current approaches. Special features of
the book include: * More than 1000 figures and lines drawings that
illustrate all aspects of the subject. * 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. * Discussions of promising future
technologies. Power Plant Engineering will be the standard reference in
the professional engineer s library as the source of information on
steam power plant generation. In addition, the clear presentation of the
material will make this book suitable for use by students preparing to
enter the field.
