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 book does.
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
