Steam / its generation and use

 

Babcock & Wilcox wrote the book on steam. Literally.

The newly released 41st edition of Steam/its generation and use, a book published by The Babcock & Wilcox Company, details advances in the production of steam and the utilization of all types of fuels. This edition has been thoroughly updated and revised including completely rewritten sections on environmental protection, emissions control, and advanced steam generator designs for the 21st century.

OrderSteam is the longest continuously published engineering text of its kind in the world. The first edition of this book appeared in 1875, not long after an engineer named Stephen Wilcox, Jr., applied his knowledge of water circulation theory to perfecting a new and safe boiler concept. Today, B&W is an internationally acknowledged leader in all aspects of steam generation, from fundamentals and research, to engineering and manufacturing, service and construction, and protecting the environment, and our knowledge is shared through the publication of Steam.

BONUS: A completely searchable CD version of Steam:41 is included in every copy.
