A unique guide to all aspects of boiler design and technology, entries cover key foundational concepts and cover all types of boilers and their design. The book includes entries on all major auxiliary equipment, including air pollution control technologies. Key subject areas include fundamentals; including heat transfer, fluid flow, and metallurgy; engineering, including boiler components, pressure parts, and boiler instrumentation; essential auxiliaries, including mounting and fittings, pumps, and valves; and various types of boilers. The book also covers the latest clean and green technologies.
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 that theory, this reference focuses exclusively on water tube boilers found in process industries and power plants.
This references 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, operations, and consulting engineers.
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 - gates, 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 of the design of boilers and auxiliaries
-
Emerging technologies such as carbon capture, oxy-fuel combustion, and PFBC
