Advances in Steam Turbines for Modern Power Plants, second edition,
provides a fully revised and updated comprehensive review of steam
turbine design, optimization, analysis and measurement. Editor Tadashi
Tanuma and his team of expert contributors from around the globe have
updated each chapter to reflect the latest research and experiences in
the field, to help progress thermal power generation to meet
sustainability goals. This book presents modern technologies for the
design and development of steam turbines that supply affordable,
reliable and stable power with much lower CO2 emissions.
With the addition of two new chapters on 'Steam turbine mechanical
design and analysis for high temperature, large and rapid change of
temperature conditions' and 'Steam valves with low pressure losses' this
edition will support students, researchers and professional engineers in
designing and developing their own economical and environmentally
concerned thermal power plants.
