Features: This book provides a detailed introduction to the working processes, characteristics, and performance of various combined cycle systems, including non-combustion and combustion heat recovery boiler combined cycles, exhaust-assisted combustion boiler combined cycles, parallel power layout combined cycles, feedwater heating combined cycles, initial combustion heat recovery boiler combined cycles, Cheng's dual-fluid combined cycles, wet air turbine combined cycles, boosted boiler combined cycles, and coal-biomass combined cycles (PFBC-CC, AFBC-CC, and IGCC). It also describes the mathematical relationships of performance indicators for these combined cycles and even analytical solutions for certain characteristic parameters. The book offers a theoretical foundation for people to fundamentally grasp the key factors influencing the performance of these combined cycles during optimization design. It is suitable for scientists and engineers in energy and power engineering, design personnel of combined cycle equipment and engineering, as well as faculty and students in universities and colleges.
