Description
No other current publication offers the professional engineer or technician the wealth of useful guidance on nearly every aspect of gas
turbine design, installation, operation, maintenance and repair as this bookdoes. Gas Turbines makes the job of any engineer involved
in the design, selection, operation and maintenance of most nearly any type of gas turbine more efficient and more successful. The book
offers the reader a “big picture” view of how to make the right decisions when planning what type of gas turbine to use for a particular
application, taking into consideration not only operational requirements but long-term life-cycle costs in upkeep and repair and future
usage.
Concise overviews of all important theoretical bases in thermodynamics and fluid dynamics upon which gas turbine engines depend
are presented. The author is an experienced industry consultant, with experience at such leading manufacturers of gas turbines as GE
and Rolls Royce and relates how factors affect proper design, correct selection and specifications, and long-term successful operation
for the application in question.. The book offers professional engineers hard-to-find manufacturer’s data with extensive interpretation
and explanation.
Audience:
Professional Engineers in Mechanical Engineering, particularly those involved with energy systems, and transportation systems that make
use of gas turbines, such as marine engines; Aerospace Engineers involved in propulsion systems with combustion engineering, Manufacturers
of Gas Turbines, and related system, Quality and Reliability Engineers in the industries and areas that make extensive
use of gas turbine engines, Maintenance Engineers; Machinists, and other related professionals who are charge with the upkeep and repair
of gas turbine engines
