About this title

Synopsis

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. Written in a style which facilitates clear understanding by the non-technical reader, the book provides an inclusive and fully detailed overview for those who are involved in any aspect of power generation. 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 examined in detail. The guide will serve as a valuable reference for utility managers, power industry consultants, power marketing professionals, and large power users, as well as those with technical expertise in a specific area of power generation who wish to broaden their understanding of the complete process through which electricity is produced.

Store Description

3,000 sq ft 35,000 + books mostly out of print, rare, many foreign language. especially strong in NATIVE AMERICA, WESTERN AMERICANA,SCIENCE, TECHNICAL,ART. Been here 30+. No international orders please too many scammers (Australians) and constantly changing rules and people in Germany complaining and adding weird new hoops (Extended Producer Responsibility) to jump through. Every country wants it's own tax form and tax ID and and VAT Number and IOSS ID or countless other acronyms that change weeksly and it's not worth it for us sorry.
