500			_aThe area of energy conversion is such a broad area and covers so many disciplines that it is a difficult course to teach. Moreover, so much research is being carried out in this area that the field is constantly changing. The area is further clouded by political decisions and regulations. Writing a textbook on energy conversion is like trying to write an objective political or religious treatise on any highly controversial subject. Intended for courses on energy conversion, power plants, or steam power systems offered to advanced undergraduates or graduate students. This book aims to acquaint readers with all aspects of broad and constantly changing area of energy conversion. The second edition includes new discussion of business fuels and systems, cold fusion and the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl reactor accidents.
