Waste Heat Management is the first comprehensive reference on waste heat recovery/recycling, which is key to cost savings and energy efficiency. The work is appropriate for a wide audience; while previous books have targeted the hydrocarbon/petrochemical industries, Thekdi's work is applicable to a wide range of industries, including power generation and large-scale manufacturing and processing facilities. Its energy efficiency focus is timely, as evidenced by recent EPA standards requiring energy audits for process
