100 Years of Power Plant Development: Focus on Steam and Gas Turbines as Prime Movers

100 Years of Power Plant Development presents the evolution of power plant concepts. The author provides the thermodynamic design concepts of a large variety of power plants, with comparisons, based on realistic performance levels. The historical overview extends to plant concepts for the future, and considers the latest advances with improved thermodynamic performance and emissions/CO2 discharge. In addition, the author examines such issues as available fuel sources, and developing and applying the best technology for converting fuels into electric power with the lowest adverse effect on the environment.Termuehlen, Heinz is the author of '100 Years of Power Plant Development: Focus on Steam and Gas Turbines as Prime Movers' with ISBN 9780791801598 and ISBN 0791801594.
