M. : Mechanical Engineering, 1969. - 360 s. The book discusses the static and dynamic properties of regulated objects of thermal power plants (steam, gas turbines, etc.) ). The method of analyzing the work of sensitive, reinforcing and stabilizing elements, as well as systems of automatic regulation of direct and indirect action, the transition processes of which are described by linear differential equations with constant coefficients. Sustainability criteria, Vyshnegradsky diagrams and the main methods for assessing the quality of the regulatory system. The book is a textbook for students of heat and power engineering specialties of engineering and polytechnic universities and can be useful to engineers-heat engineers dealing with automation and automatic regulation.
