Energy costs impact the profitability of virtually all industrial processes. Stressing how plants use power, and how that power is actually generated, thisbook provides a clear and simple way to understand the energy usage in various processes, as well as methods for optimizing these processes using practicalhands-on simulations and a unique approach that details solved problems utilizing actual plant data. Invaluable information offers a complete energy-savingapproach essential for both the chemical and mechanical engineering curricula, as well as for practicing engineers. INDICE: Chapter 1.
