A Practical Guide to Steam Turbine Technology 1st Edition

This book is just as it's title indicates. A practical Guide. It's helpful to refer to it as often as needed.

I purchased this Book in January 2001, as an useful resource to my first job as a professional engineer. It helped me understand many aspects of turbine technology at that time. Now, 16 years later I am writing this review. I don't even have the book anymore with me as I donated it to a colleague years ago. I can say that it helped me a lot during those years. Probably now there are better options as technology changes year to year, but basic principles are there. I do recommend to get this book, anyway.

good

nice condition. no scretch.

Great overview of steam turbine operation, components and manufacturing techniques. Some design included as well, although it may be less relevant today.

The starting point to select, install, operate or control specific Machinery is to learn and understand about its principles and technology. I am an Electronics Engineer, but I have been working for the last 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation and Process Safety and Control Engineer for the Oil and Gas Industries. As a result I have been involved with Chemical and Mechanical Engineering issues related with both gas and steam turbines in a day to day basic. This handy reference has proven most useful and time saving when in need of information or a shortcut to solve problems.This "quick-reference" guide offers you authoritative information on the operating characteristics, efficiencies, design features, reliability, and maintenance of Steam Turbines. Absolutely a must have if you work with steam turbines.

I want to buy the book A practical guide to steam turbine teghnology by Heinz P. Bloch. But sience my reigion is out of your list. I want to collect it from Singapore for the same i require address of your distributers there.
