Dictionary of Power Engineering (English, German, Hardcover)

This dictionary contains 4102 German terms and their English equivalents, followed by field(s) of application and definitions. Apart from the synonyms and abbreviations referring to the parent terms, a feature of this dictionary is that relevant concepts and processes have been explained for a better understanding of the terms. It also contains new terms from the areas of thermal power engineering, namely: boilers; power plant chemistry; coal; control and instrumentation; material sciences; metallurgy; and thermodynamics. Unlike many bilingual dictionaries, this dictionary provides an English index at the end, which should be an added advantage to the user. Reference materials, such as scientific journals, technical reference books, lexicons, guidelines, standards, patents and bilingual product literature, were also consulted to make the terms as authentic and up-to-date as possible. A team of experts from specialized areas of power engineering rendered valuable assistance in editing the definitions of various terms. The dictionary should prove useful to scientists, engineers and other professional translators engaged in the field.
