This handbook-complete with 7000-entry companion index-summarizes water technology for steam power plant cycles. With the primary emphasis on electric utility power generation cycles (fossil and nuclear), the book serves as a training text and reference volume for power station chemists, engineers, manufacturers, and research and development institutions. Each chapter represents a dedication by one or more technologists to the assembly of the best information available as it applies to thermal power systems. Purchase of the Handbook includes the 1992 errata (also available separately).
