Books by V. (Boiler Consultant Ganapathy

The text shows how design and performance calculations of complete steam generators and waste heat boilers of fire tube and water tube type may be done using basic heat transfer principles. It discusses recent developments in boiler technology, explores novel design ideas for improving efficiency, and lowering operating costs. In addition, it presents examples of problems with steam generators and HRSGs that are faced by plant engineers, along with solutions. Appendices provide heat transfer correlations in all three systems of units.
