Could someone recommend a book related to steam power and thermal engineering? . .

I would like to learn about knowledge related to thermodynamics, steam power, and steam transmission – things such as steam turbine generators, extraction-type and condensing-type power generation systems, compressors, boiler feedwater treatment processes. In short, I’m interested in various technologies and equipment related to steam power and its transmission, including different types of valves (ball valves, gate valves, trap valves, etc.), drain valves, elbows, temperature and pressure regulators, steam drums, and so on. I’m wondering which books, if any, provide a comprehensive overview of this subject matter ? It would be great to have an electronic version for download; I would be very grateful. . .
Colleagues, please give some recommendations.
I majored in this field, and in my opinion, it’s somewhat unrealistic to expect to understand all of this content completely from just one book. Generally speaking, boilers serve a specific purpose, and steam turbines have their own function.
The Handbook for Thermal Energy Engineers covers a wide range of topics.
The \"Boiler Design Manual\" should be quite good, but it’s not as comprehensive as you say.
I searched for this book but couldn’t find it; is the title incorrect? ? ?
It sank again. . . . Does no one know? Thank you.

I’m extremely grateful; I found that our forum actually has electronic versions of these two books, so I’ll download them first to study them. Thank you again. .

Haha, trying to take it all! Take your time, solve things one by one! From my own experience, I’ve made many mistakes in books. As you know, it’s impossible to get things done in engineering without having access to proper reference books! Firstly: Heat Energy Engineering Design Manual (Mechanical Industry Press), Industrial Furnace Design Manual, Principles and Calculations of Boilers (3rd edition), Standard Methods for the Design and Calculation of Industrial Boilers (including methods for calculating hydrodynamic forces and flue gas resistance, as well as thermal calculations), Standard Methods for the Design and Calculation of Industrial Boilers, Valve Manual, and so on. Take your time; the more you read, the more you will know. It’s impossible to learn just from one or two books! The internet speed is too slow, and there are quite a few packets; please understand
