Power Plant System Design
An introduction to the overall design of power plant systems, focusing on system rather than component design. Examines thermal aspects of systems and the desicions necessary to produce optimal power plant design. Includes appropriate computer methodology. Suitable for introductory courses in mechanical engineering.
