Detailed analyses of the factors involved in the operation of combined power plants are clearly presented. Also covered are the history of the developments of combined power plants, practical schemes and experiences and major developments in the field to bring the text up-to-date. The whole book presents a totally original text, ideal for students and practising engineers alike.
