Extensively revised and updated, this new edition of a classic resource provides powerplant engineers with a full range of information from basic operations to leading-edge technologies, including steam generation, turbines and diesels, fuels and fuel handling, pollution control, plant electrical systems, and instrumentation and control. New material covers various energy resources for power generation, nuclear plant systems, hydroelectric power stations, alternative and cogeneration energy plants, and environmental controls. With over 600 drawings, diagrams, and photographs, it offers engineers and technicians the information needed to keep powerplants operating smoothly into the 21st century.

Choice Review
The quality and usefulness of any handbook is largely determined by the range of material covered and the ease with which users can find both the materials they need and adequate references, when the material needed is more detailed than normally found in a handbook. Elliott has done a superb job in all respects. The book's 46 chapters are divided into six main sections, covering steam generation, turbines and diesels, fuels and fuel handling, pollution control, plant electric systems, and instrumentation and control. Each chapter is preceded by a table of contents listing the material covered. The end-of-chapter bibliographies and the 20-page index assure the users' ability to locate needed material. The 600 illustrations are well done. Recommended for upper-level undergradute and graduate students in electrical power, mechanical power, or nuclear studies. -G. R. Peirce, University of Illinois (Emeritus)
