Steam Turbines Design Application and Re-Rating by Heinz P. Bloch & Murari P. Singh. This second edition book is intended to provide the kind of guidance that will enable the reader to make intelligent choices. We have added Chapter 16 on the upgrading of steam turbines, completely revised the chapter on bearings, and added new information on bearing protector seals, brush seals, oil mist lubrication, and wavy face mechanical seals that promise to replace carbon ring seals in the small steam turbine.
