| Standard Handbook of Powerplant Engineering |
| by T. C. Elliott, 1,232
pp., 1997, ISBN: 0070194351 |
 |
The first edition of this authoritative handbook established itself as
the "bible" for engineers and technicians working in industrial and utility
powerplants.
Now extensively revised and updated, the Handbook
includes the latest technical information and data on systems and equipment
that plant personnel need to ensure efficient, uninterrupted powerplant
operations.
More than 40 contributors have polled
their expertise to make this the most current and comprehensive reference in the
field available today. |
