Opis

This volume bridges the gap between laboratory research and practical applications in industry and power utilities. The book is clearly organized into three distinct sections that cover basic theories and concepts, fully describe the execution of principles, and examine innovative new techniques. This second edition includes chapters detailing industrial uses as well as issues of hazard and safety. Review exercises accompany each chapter to reinforce reader assimilation of the material.
