... Little attention has been given in the literature to the analysis of thermal energy losses of large fabric filter houses and precipitator buildings. Either a fabric filter house or precipitator building is a major part of most coal-fired power plants. The function of the structure is to remove...

... This introduction presents the motivating forces behind the gradual evolution of power plant instrumentation for the measurement of substances in high-purity water. Recent results underscore the need for precision and bias studies for each of the many different methods that are being employed...
