This chapter is a modest update and extension of the successful chapter “Steam Turbines” included originally in the 2nd Edition (1971) by William I. H. Budd and then revised for the 3rd Edition (1992) by William G. Catlow. These authors continue to deserve credit for the majority of the chapter. The chapter is presented again under William G. Catlow’s name. The modest extension by the Editor, with the assistance of Prof. Jose Femenia, focuses more on recent total steam systems, thus the title change. The extension presents more recent developments including the most advanced marine reheat cycle steam systems utilized in some LNG carriers, the use of multi-pressure turbines in advanced bottoming cycle waste heat removal systems, and the recent introduction of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) for low temperature waste heat removal from diesel cooling systems.
