Steam Its Generation and Use is a comprehensive guidebook on the generation and use of steam, written by the Babcock and Wilcox Company. The book covers the principles of steam generation, the types and design of boilers, the different types of steam turbines, and the applications of steam in various industries. The book also includes topics such as feedwater treatment, fuel handling, combustion, and emissions control. The book is filled with illustrations, diagrams, and charts that help to explain the concepts and principles in an easy-to-understand manner. It is an essential reference book for engineers, technicians, and students involved in the design, operation, and maintenance of steam systems. The book has been updated several times since its first publication in 1875, and the latest edition includes the latest advancements in steam technology and environmental regulations.1927.
