Following the publication of the author s first book, Boilers
for Power and Process by CRC Press in 2009, several requests were
made for a reference with even quicker access to information.
Boilers: A Practical Reference is the result of those requests,
providing a user-friendly encyclopedic format with more than 500
entries and nearly the same number of supporting
illustrations.
Written for practicing engineers and dealing with practical issues
rather than theory, this reference focuses exclusively on water
tube boilers found in process industries and power plants. It
provides broad explanations for the following topics:
- A range of boilers and main auxiliaries, as well as steam and
gas turbines
- Traditional firing techniques grates, oil/gas, and modern
systems
- Industrial, utility, waste heat, MSW and bio-fuel-fired
boilers, including supercritical boilers
- The scientific fundamentals of combustion, heat transfer, fluid
flow, and more
- The basics of fuels, water, ash, high-temperature steels,
structurals, refractory, insulation, and more
- Additional engineering topics like boiler instruments,
controls, welding, corrosion, and wear
- Air pollution, its abatement techniques and their effect on the
design of boilers and auxiliaries
- Emerging technologies such as carbon capture, oxy-fuel
combustion, and PFBC
This reference covers almost every topic needed by boiler
engineers in process and power plants. An encyclopedia by design
and a professional reference book by focus and size, this volume is
strong on fundamentals and design aspects as well as practical
content. The scope and easy-to-navigate presentation of the
material plus the numerous illustrations make this a unique
reference for busy design, project, operation, and consulting
engineers.
