Book Synopsis Operation and Maintenance of Steam Power Boilers by : Rajendra Kumar
Download or read book Operation and Maintenance of Steam Power Boilers written by Rajendra Kumar. This book was released on 2008-06-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern boilers proactively integrated disciplines of mechanical and combustion engineering with those of metallurgical, inclusive of corrosion and welding. This book seeks to build bridges across the seemingly different disciplines. The book provides a brief description of the important functional sections of the power boiler and highlights salient features of their design. It characterizes coal and outlines features of heat transfer from the point of view of their impact on boilers design.; It interweaves the discussion with metallurgical factors covering structural degradation, deformation, corrosion and welding. Metallurgical issues which have direct bearing on plant life and reliable boiler performance are specially discussed. Another unique feature of the book is that its presentation of the subject matter emphasizes that operation and maintenance engineers have to make common cause with metallurgy in order to humble the forces causing unscheduled outages resulting in lower plant load factors and lower plant life.
