Practical Boiler Operation Engineering Power plants
Practical Boiler Operation Engineering Power plants covers the entire cross-functional aspects of a thermal power plant. Some basicconcepts of engineering related to power plant are discussed in Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4. Waterchemistry which is very important for a boiler is discussed in Chapter 5. From Chapter 6 to 13,
details of various types of boiler, boiler auxiliary systems and operation of boiler are discussed.
Tube, pipe and pipe fittings are discussed elaborately in Chapters 14 and 15. Chapters 16 to
19 describe steam turbine, steam turbine auxiliary system, operation of turbine and generator,
respectively. Commissioning and maintenance of power plant described in Chapters 20 and
21, respectively. Control and instrumentation (C&I) for power plant is explained in Chapter 22.
Chapter 23 describes the scope of energy conservation in thermal power plant.

Energy is the capacity to do work. It is available in various forms like mechanical energy,
electrical energy, chemical energy, heat energy, light energy, kinetic energy, potential energy etc.
In a boiler, chemical energy available in fuel converted into heat energy during combustion.
This heat energy utilised to convert water to steam. Heat energy converted to kinetic
energy in steam. Kinetic energy of steam used in steam turbine to convert into mechanical
energy. Turbine drives a generator to generate electricity. In generator, mechanical energy is
converted into electrical energy
Plant Calculations or Numericals given at the end of the chapters involves various types of calculations required in day-to-day functioning of a power plant. Feedbacks from my readers, friends and
