This text provides an introduction to all aspects of combined heat and power (CHP) thermodynamics, design, economics and utilization. Emphasis is placed on the performance of CHP plants compared to conventional plants, and the economic considerations in combined heat and power utilization. There are many CHP installations in commission and, where applicable, the text describes practical examples of CHP use.

Combined Power Plants

Pergamon Pr

Primarily this book describes the thermodynamics of gas turbine cycles. The search for high gas turbine efficiency has produced many variations on the simple "open circuit" plant, involving the use of heat exchangers, reheating and intercooling, water and steam injection, cogeneration and combined cycle plants. These are described fully in the text.A review of recent proposals for a number of novel gas turbine cycles is also included. In the past few years work has been directed towards developing gas turbines which produce less carbon dioxide, or plants from which the CO2 can be disposed of; the implications of a carbon tax on electricity pricing are considered. In presenting this wide survey of gas turbine cycles for power generation the author calls on both his academic experience (at Cambridge and Liverpool Universities, the Gas Turbine Laboratory at MIT and Penn State University) and his industrial work (primarily with Rolls Royce, plc.) The book will be essential reading for final year and masters students in mechanical engineering, and for practising engineers.

This work sets out the fundamentals of turbine design in terms familiar to students of engineering thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.  Although based largely on aircraft gas turbine practice, it is also of value to those working  with steam and hydraulic turbines.

This text provides a sound introduction to all aspects of combined heat and power (CHP) thermodynamics, design, economics, and utilization. Specific emphasis is placed on the performance of combined heat and power plants compared with conventional plants, and the economic considerations in combined heat and power utilization. There are numerous CHP installations now in commission and, where applicable, the text describes practical examples of CHP use.

Cogeneration-Combined Heat and Power (Chp): Thermodynamics and Economics

Recent years have seen growing interest in combined power plants. Their competitive advantages, stemming from higher efficiencies and environmental benefits, are now widely recognized. This book provides detailed analysis of the basic thermodynamics and economic implications of such plants, and includes details of recent developments in Europe, USA and Japan. It will be invaluable to practicing engineers, providing a comprehensive guide to all aspects of combined power plants, and is essential reading for graduate and undergraduate students in mechanical engineering. It will also be of interest to policy makers, economists and environmental scientists.
