Description
This handbook covers major areas of mechanical engineering and is divided into four main areas: power generation, plant and facility engineering, environmental engineering, and design engineering. Specific, step-by-step calculation procedures are given for the topics covered, which provides users with direct and related calculations for solving routine and non-routine problems. By following the calculation procedures in the book, the engineer should be able to obtain accurate results with minimum time and effort. Included are worked examples giving the numerical results of the calculations. Topics covered include: software design validation; steam generation; environmental issues; gas turbine systems; and indoor energy conversion.
