An Introduction To Power Plant Technology

An Introduction To Power Plant Technology by G. D. Rai

---

Book Summary:

From the teaching experience of last 21 years for undergraduate classes, it appeared to authpr that there was a need for a coincise and practical book on power plant engineering. The treatment of the book begins with fundamentals and develops in a way that allows the practical man as well as the student to expand his knowledge progressively. It is manifestly impossible to deal completely with all phases of this far-reaching subject in a book that is designed primarily as a text book. The author has therefore confined himself strictly in the mechanical engineering features of power plants, leaving to other standard works on the subject structural and electrical considerations.

Audience of the Book :

This book Useful for Mechanical Engineering Students.
