The Waste Heat Recovery Handbook

Large amounts of heat generated in commercial and industrial processes are "dumped" into the environment, even though much of this heat could be utilized for useful and economically beneficial purposes.

"Waste Heat Management is the first comprehensive reference on waste heat recovery/recycling, which is key to cost savings and energy efficiency. The work is appropriate for a wide audience; while previous books have targeted the hydrocarbon/petrochemical industries, Thekdi's work is applicable to a wide range of industries, including power generation and large-scale manufacturing and processing facilities. Its energy efficiency focus is timely, as evidenced by recent EPA standards requiring energy audits for process "--Provided by publisher.
