Overviews the thermodynamic design concepts behind the most common types of power generation plants. Termuehlen, who is retired from Siemens, shows how advances in power plant technologies--especially the large steam and gas turbine design--have improved the performance of power stations, and how problems have been overcome. Nuclear power, co-generation, combined-cycle, and coal gasification plants are described. The final chapter identifies available fuel sources, and examines the best technologies for converting fuel into electric power with the lowest adverse effect on the environment. c. Book News Inc.
