Describes the rtole of steam gernators and HRSGs in process plants and such energy systems as the Cheng cycle, Kalina cycle, combined cycle plants, and various heat recovery systems. Emphasizes design, performance, specification, and operational aspects of different types of steam generators, including methods to minimize emissions of Nox, CO, and other pollutants and maximize steam generation in cogeneration plants.

Maintaining a question-and-answer format, this second edition provides simplified means of solving nearly 200 practical problems that confront engineers involved in the planning, design, operation and maintenance of steam plant systems. Calculations pertaining to emissions, boiler efficiency, circulation and heat transfer equipment design and performance are provided. Solutions to 70 new problems are featured in this edition.

Incorporates Worked-Out Real-World Problems

Steam Generators and Waste Heat Boilers: For Process and Plant Engineers focuses on the thermal design and performance aspects of steam generators, HRSGs and fire tube, water tube waste heat boilers including air heaters, and condensing economizers. Over 120 real-life problems are fully worked out which will help plant engineers in evaluating new boilers or making modifications to existing boiler components without assistance from boiler suppliers. The book examines recent trends and...
