Proceedings of the 1999 International Joint Power Generation Conference: Fuels and combustion technologies


Book Description

Volume I of the proceedings of the July 1999 conference documents the peer-reviewed papers that address the topics of fuels and combustion technologies, gas turbines, and nuclear engineering. The 112 articles emphasize the areas of advanced monitoring and control systems and environmental topics, plus a continuing drive toward higher efficiency and lower cost of operation. They provide up-to-date technical information on how fuels and combustion systems are meeting the challenges of societal demands for cost-effective power generation with minimum environmental impacts.

Thermal Engineering in Power Systems


Book Description

Research and development in thermal engineering for power systems are of significant importance to many scientists who are engaged in research and design work in power-related industries and laboratories. This book focuses on variety of research areas including Components of Compressor and Turbines that are used for both electric power systems and aero engines, Fuel Cells, Energy Conversion, and Energy Reuse and Recycling Systems. To be competitive in today's market, power systems need to reduce the operating costs, increase capacity factors and deal with many other tough issues. Heat Transfer and fluid flow issues are of great significance and it is likely that a state-of-the-art edited book with reference to power systems will make a contribution for design and R&D engineers and the development towards sustainable energy systems.
