The author manages to convey in a technically up-to-date, highly readable text all of the essentials of modern steam turbine technology. Both impulse and reaction turbines are covered. This book should be a great help to the harried professional who quickly needs to get his hands on relevant, no-nonsense explanations covering turbine design and construction features, turbine auxiliaries, governors and controls, couplings and gears, rotor dynamics technology, etc. Of particular interest are the shortcut methods of turbine selection and sizing included in this profusely illustrated 348-page text.

The starting point to select, install, operate or control specific Machinery is to learn and understand about its principles and technology. I am an Electronics Engineer, but I have been working for the last 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation and Process Safety and Control Engineer for the Oil and Gas Industries. As a result I have been involved with Chemical and Mechanical Engineering issues related with both gas and steam turbines in a day to day basic. This handy reference has proven most useful and time saving when in need of information or a shortcut to solve problems.

This "quick-reference" guide offers you authoritative information on the operating characteristics, efficiencies, design features, reliability, and maintenance of Steam Turbines. Absolutely a must have if you work with steam turbines.
