For more than 55 years, Steam-Plant Operation has been the "bible" for engineers and operators involved with steam plant equipment in heat, power, and process plants. Now, extensively revised and updated, the book covers not only the principles of combustion and the basic design, construction, and operation of boilers, but includes extensive treatments of the fundamentals of power plant equipment, including pumps, reciprocating steam engines, valve-operating mechanisms, turbines, and environmental control systems. Written in clear, straightforward language, this essential reference also contains a wealth of manufacturers illustrations, plus sample calculations, and examples.
