Power Plant Engineering

Power Plant Engineering
By P.K. Nag

A hallmark text for power plant engineering courses, this book blends analytical and theoretical treatment with practical, up-to-date coverage of how real power stations are designed and operated. It's known for its in-depth treatment of hydroelectric, diesel engine, and gas turbine power plants — areas often covered more lightly in other texts — alongside strong coverage of newer topics like energy storage mechanisms, combined cycle power generation, and fluidized bed boilers. With hundreds of solved examples, review questions, and practice problems throughout, it's built to take students from fundamentals through to exam-ready mastery.

Topics commonly covered include economics of power generation, analysis of steam cycles, combined cycle power generation, fuels and combustion, combustion mechanisms and firing methods, steam generators, steam turbines, condenser and feedwater/circulating water systems, nuclear power plants, hydroelectric power plants, diesel engine and gas turbine power plants, energy storage, non-conventional power generation and direct energy conversion, and environmental degradation and renewable energy use.

Key features:

• In-depth coverage of hydroelectric, diesel engine, and gas turbine power plants
• Dedicated chapters on non-conventional power generation and renewable energy
• Unique coverage of energy storage mechanisms not always found in comparable texts
• Detailed treatment of combined cycle power generation and fluidized bed boilers
• Hundreds of solved examples, review questions, and practice problems for exam prep

Perfect for:

• Undergraduate mechanical and chemical engineering students
• Students taking a dedicated power plant engineering course (commonly a final-year subject)
• Students needing strong solved-example and practice-problem support for exams
• Anyone wanting broad coverage spanning conventional and renewable power generation
