The book “Condenser and Power Plate Cooling Systems: Design and Operation”, authored by Dr. Ali Jahangiri, associate professor, and Mohammad Ameri, professor at the Faculty of Mechanical and Energy Engineering at Shahid Beheshti University, has been published recently by SBU Press in 282 pages.
Condensers and cooling systems play a crucial role in optimizing the performance of thermal power plants and are considered vital components of these facilities. The growing demand for high-efficiency electricity generation has led to the continued installation and operation of thermal units using both fossil and non-fossil fuel sources. Therefore, updating knowledge and technologies related to the design and operation of condensers and cooling systems is essential.
“Condenser and Power Plate Cooling Systems: Design and Operation” aims to meet educational and research needs, consisting of eight chapters covering topics such as an introduction to power plant components, the thermal power cycle, the necessity and significance of condensers and cooling systems, types of condensers, and the design and analysis of cooling systems.
Additionally, the book examines the advantages and disadvantages of various cooling towers, economic aspects, and factors influencing their design and environmental conditions, including efficiency, maintenance, thermal evaluation, and other ancillary components of power plant cooling systems and condensers.
This book is considered a comprehensive and practical reference for students and engineers in the fields of mechanical engineering, energy, and energy conversion. It is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students and serves as an effective resource for operators, managers, and staff in power plants and organizations related to the Ministry of Energy.
