COGENERATION-COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP) - THERMODYNAMICS AND ECONOMICS

This text provides a sound introduction to all aspects of combined heat and power (CHP) thermodynamics, design, economics, and utilization. Specific emphasis is placed on the performance of combined heat and power plants compared with conventional plants, and the economic considerations in combined heat and power utilization. There are numerous CHP installations now in commission and, where applicable, the text describes practical examples of CHP use.
