The newly released edition of Steam/its generation and use details advances in the production of steam and the utilization of all types of fuels.
Steam is the longest continuously published engineering text of its kind in the world. The first edition of this book appeared in 1875, not long after an engineer named Stephen Wilcox, Jr., applied his knowledge of water circulation theory to perfecting a new and safe boiler concept. Today, B&W is an internationally acknowledged leader in all aspects of steam generation, from fundamentals and research, to engineering and manufacturing, service and construction, and protecting the environment, and their knowledge is shared through the publication of Steam.
Table Of Contents: 1. Fundamentals of steam generation and use (a) Boiling and steam separation (b) Thermodynamics of steam (c) Fluid dynamics (d) Heat Transfer 2. Steam generation from chemical energy (e) Sources of chemical energy (f) Principles of combustion (g) Oil and gas (h) Coal processing and handling (i) Utilization of pulverized coal (j) Stokers (k) Cyclone Furnances (l) Boilers, superheaters and reheaters (m) Economizers and air heaters (n) Temperature, surface, and pressure (o) Fuel Ash (p) Boiler enclosures (q) Stacks, fans, and drafts (r) Combustion by-products (s) Economizers and air heaters 3. Steam generation from nuclear energy 4. Applications of steam 5. Metallurgy and structural design 6. Manufacturing and construction 7. Operation and maintenance 8. Tables of measurement 9. Glossary/symbols
