Description
This PDF guidebook provides an introduction to all aspects of heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) engineering. Coverage ranges from market surveys, heat balances, and mechanical design to operation of HRSGs. Both theory and practical applications are covered, giving engineers the proper guidance needed to design and operate HRSG power plants.
The 2nd edition guidebook begins with a market review of HRSGs and includes an introduction to the balance of plant, overall efficiency of steam, and the gas turbine cycle.
