Steam Surface Condensers : Basic Principles, Performance Monitoring, and Maintenance, Hardcover by Putnam, Richard E., ISBN 0791801519, ISBN-13 9780791801512, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US

This reference for power-plant engineers, marine engineers, and students of heat transfer equipment presents the analytical theory of steam surface condensers together with practical applications. Chartered Mechanical Engineer and consultant Putman examines current methods for modeling, diagnosing, and improving condenser performance. A sampling of topics includes the calculation of heat transfer coefficients and their significance in measuring overall condenser performance, optimizing condenser cleaning schedules, and proper methods of tube plugging. Coverage extends to assigning a dollar amount and excess carbon emissions to condenser fouling, methods for estimating cooling water flow rate, and performance analysis for multi-compartment condensers.
