During my 50+ years as a practicing Professional Engineer I have presented technical papers at various conferences and in technical publications. Many of these venues have been long since forgotten and most of these papers are no longer retrievable. In my opinion, some of these papers are worthy of preservation, as they have contributed to the advancement of the engineering of balance-of-plant mechanical systems in electric power plants. To remedy this situation, I offer this book containing my older papers. More recently (since about 2012) I have had my papers published by the ASME which required me to surrender copyright, so I cannot include them in this book. However, Appendix A contains a list of those papers which should be available from the ASME in perpetuity.
