Many important advances have occurred in the use of steam power in the last fifteen years. Large power plants as well as small-capacity boilers have become more efficient and reliable, and their design and operation have been enhanced by the application of computational techniques. This book reviews latest developments. Intended for both students and engineers, the book treats realistic problems and offers a wealth of valuable insight into the design of steam power plants. PALABRAS CLAVE: Mechanical engineering. CONTENIDO: Preface; 1. Historical development of strategy for steam power Seikan Ishigai; 2. Thermodynamic design ofthe steam power plant cycle Shigeyasu Nakanishi and Terushige Fujii; 3. General planning of boiler gas-side heat transfer surface Eiichi Nishikawa 4. Thermal and hydraulic design of steam generating systems Koji Akagawa; 5. Flow instability problems in steam generating tubes Mamoru Ozawa; Appendix.
