Standard Handbook of Power plant Engineering

Standard Handbook of Power plant Engineering by Kao Chen, Robert Swanekamp, and Thomas. The Book covers in considerable detail the systems and equipment comprising the modern industrial and utility powerplants. The handbook is designed to appeal to engineers in electric utilities, process and manufacturing industries, commercial and institutional buildings, plus consulting firms in power technology (those responsible for converting raw fuel into usable energy). These pages should also appeal to engineering students, engineers with vendors and service companies catering to the power field, and officials with energy and environmental agencies.
