Editorial Reviews

"This book will surely help consultants and manufacturers in closing the "gaps" that they may have in thermal performance of oil / gas fired boilers and heat recovery steam generators. …This is a "down to earth" book on the subject."
—S.Damodaran, Director, Thermodyne Technologies Private Limited, Chennai, India

"This book is an ideal reference for anyone involved in the heat transfer field. It is practical for use as a reference by plant personnel who need an answer "right now" but it is detailed enough to allow consulting engineers, process engineers, manufacturing engineers, designers and even students to get a comprehensive understanding of how the equipment works and how to make sure what they have designed is really in the best interest of the plant."
