Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book equips readers with the theoretical and practical know-how to precisely measure and analyze the performance of power plant units. The author explores the evolution of experimental measurements from the fundamental principles to their application in various power engineering fields. The book begins with an examination of the history of measurement theory and uncertainties associated with measurement processes. It then presents in-depth guidance on calibrating instruments used in power plant testing, such as scales, pressure gages, and flowmeters, including detailed procedures for determining instrument constants and evaluating measurement errors. With a focus on steam turbines, steam engines, and internal combustion engines, the book provides step-by-step instructions for conducting mechanical efficiency and economy tests, as well as boiler and refrigeration plant testing. It also explores advanced topics such as the analysis of combustion processes using exhaust gas analysis and the measurement of air machinery performance. The insights gained from this book empower engineers to make accurate assessments of power plant performance, optimize efficiency, and make informed decisions to improve plant operations.
