Steam power remains one of industry's most dependable ways to convert fuel into useful thermal energy, and this book offers a clear, practical guide to making that conversion efficient, safe, and reliable. Built for engineers, operators, technicians, and students, it connects core thermodynamics with real boiler-room practice across manufacturing, transportation, marine, and utility settings.
The content begins with the basics of steam behavior, heat transfer, and control-volume energy balances, then moves into boiler selection, combustion systems, and burner operation. Readers will also find focused coverage of feedwater treatment, water chemistry, circulation design, steam distribution, instrumentation, safety interlocks, and operating procedures. Each topic is tied to equipment performance and day-to-day operating decisions.
What this book covers- Steam fundamentals, properties, quality, moisture effects, and performance metrics.
- Boiler engineering, fire-tube and water-tube designs, economizers, superheaters, and furnace arrangements.
- Combustion and fuel systems, stoichiometry, draft, burner tuning, and troubleshooting.
- Water chemistry and treatment, softening, deaeration, condensate return, and corrosion control.
- Distribution and controls, steam piping, traps, pressure reduction, BMS logic, and safety systems.
- Testing and reliability, efficiency measurement, maintenance planning, failure analysis, and root cause work.
- Practical explanations paired with real operating examples.
- Balanced treatment of design, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
- Useful for both plant personnel and readers preparing for deeper technical study.
- Includes application-focused chapters for industrial, marine, locomotive, and utility steam systems.
From start-up and shutdown to heat-rate evaluation and condensate management, this book provides a structured path to better steam system decisions. It is a strong reference for anyone responsible for boiler performance, steam reliability, or thermal energy efficiency in demanding environments.
