Acknowledgements
In preparing this book, I would like to acknowledge the assistance given me by many engineers employed in the power generation industry for their efforts to read and comment on the contents. While these people have reviewed the manuscript and made many valuable comments, the responsibility for the material contained in this work is entirely my own. Each of these engineers have helped me to avoid ambiguity and error. Specialists in their field, these individuals represent many hundreds of years of design and practical experience. Their reviews and recommendations for inclusion, deletion, and modification have added significantly to this volume's value for the operating engineer.
