Description

This collection of design/operating ideas from POWER magazine represents the best “practical ideas” submitted by readers to solve knotty problems, going back to January 1970. There are 360 items in the collection and 280 illustrations.

Those who would benefit from this book include engineers in electric utilities, process and manufacturing industries, commercial and service establishments, and consulting engineering firms working in the power technology. This book should also appeal to engineering students and engineers with vendors in the power field.

“Practical Ideas” is divided into seven sections. Each starts with material published in POWER and moves backward chronologically to older items that have timeless value.

The eight-page index that follows the preface contains some 1,200 entries to help you locate systems, equipment, and techniques. Generally, equipment entries identify either the problem or the solution–large equipment listings are mostly associated with problems, but smaller equipment can be both. For your convenience, there are three special listings: custom-made tools, leak repair, and safety features. Key equipment listings such as boilers, pumps, and valves have many subentries. And we hope your curiosity is piqued by such entries as napkins, vacuum cleaners, feedmolasses, transistor radio, gremlins, moth balls, and tents.

If you have a problem or two in your plant like those described in this book, the solutions may well lie in these pages.
