Industrial Energy Management and Utilization

This text fills the need for a comprehensive and thorough study of energy utilization and management. It details the most modern, proven techniques for heat recovery, and introduces second law efficiency for various energy system components. An exceptional feature of this work is the attention it gives to four major areas of difficulty for students: the text provides fundamentals as well as proven procedures for calculating boiler efficiency... principles required and actual examples of component sizing for various steam distribution systems... information for deciding on a particular heat transfer augmentation technique for a given heat exchanger... and a thorough review of electrical system energy management, including proven methods of electrical energy conservation and cost savings.
