This book presents failure mechanisms of different boiler components and preventive measures. It illustrates the basic steam flow and circuit design of steam boiler, boiler design parameters, boiler components materials and their behavior at different temperatures. The book aims to identify the cause(s) of in-service failure of secondary superheater tube, platen superheater tube and furnace water wall tube and also presents the solutions to avoid the future failures. This volume will be of interest to researchers and professionals working in the areas of energy, power generation, electric...

With its combination of readability, love for details and rigor, “Fatigue and Corrosion in Metals” has become an authoritative reference work that has quickly established itself as the most comprehensive guide for fatigue and corrosion design available to date. It has been adopted by several universities as reference textbook and consulted by professional engineers and scholars worldwide.

This must-have Second Edition, completely revisited to account for advances in the decade since the previous edition was published, includes:...

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the design, mechanisms, and performance of metakaolin-based geopolymers (MKG), with a focus on uncovering the underlying mechanisms that differentiate MKG from ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Covering a wide range of topics surrounding MKG, from the early stages of geopolymerization to the final mechanical performance of MKG concrete, this book provides fundamental insights into the performance of MKG-based materials and their relationship with the composition and microstructure of MKG. The findings presented in this book may serve as a guide...

This book presents an overview of the development and applications of surfactant biosensor technologies. The progress in this field is fueled by a need for efficient, low cost, stable sensors that utilize harmless materials; this book illustrates how surfactant sensors represent a timely solution to this issue. Readers will learn how to utilize surfactants to make green electrochemical sensors with high stability, sensitivity, selectivity, and a robust, fast response, with special emphasis given to the most recent advances in this field.

The book additionally details how to apply...
