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.
