Fundamentals of Steam Generation Chemistry provides practical information to personnel who are charged with monitoring and controlling water/steam chemistry programs, but who may only have an informal of partial knowledge of the subject. This includes plant engineers, operators, and mechanical and chemical engineering students who very likely may face these tasks when entering the work force. The reader will be able to immediately apply the information found in this book.
