Summary: A must have Reference Book
Review: This book is a must have for anyone working in the Power Generation Industry. It begins with an introduction to thermodynamics and then takes you through the details of the various systems in a Power Plant. It clearly explains the selection, operation and maintenance of each system. This book is very well written and it is easy to read with many practical examples. The illustrations and pictures are very detailed. I've been looking for a reference book on Power Generation and I am glad that I've finally found one.

Summary: Excellent Practical Handbook
Review: This is an excellent, practical handbook on power generation. It contains clear descriptions of how power generation components are constructed, how they work and how to maintain them. Points in the text are illustrated through numerous detailed photographs, drawings and graphs. Topics include steam turbines, governing systems, valves, lubrication systems, gas turbines, bearings, seals, combined cycles, cogeneration, electrical components, etc.
I have attended two courses taught by Philip Kiameh at the University of Toronto's Professional Development Centre, one on power generation equipment and the other on mechanical equipment. Philip was an excellent teacher and his text books are similarly excellent and I highly recommend them. This text book is a valuable reference to the power generation course material.
