Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook
Introduction
The Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook has been the standard for engineers involved in the design, selection, and operation of gas turbines. This revision includes new case histories, the latest techniques, and new designs to comply with recently passed legislation. By keeping the book up to date with new, emerging topics, Boyce ensures that this book will remain the standard and most widely used book in this field.
New Edition Highlights
The new Third Edition of the Gas Turbine Engineering Hand Book updates the book to cover the new generation of Advanced Gas Turbines. It examines the benefits and some of the major problems encountered by these new turbines. The book keeps abreast of environmental changes and industry responses to these new regulations. A new chapter on case histories has been added to enable the engineer in the field to stay informed about problems and their solutions.
Content and Focus
Comprehensive treatment of gas turbines from design to operation and maintenance. In-depth coverage of compressors with emphasis on surge, rotating stall, and choke; combustors with emphasis on Dry Low NOx combustors; and turbines with emphasis on metallurgy and new cooling schemes. An excellent introductory book for students and field engineers.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
A special maintenance section dealing with advanced gas turbines, along with diagnostic charts, has been provided to help the reader troubleshoot problems encountered in the field.
Case Histories
The third edition includes many case histories of gas turbine problems, enabling field engineers to avoid some of these common issues.
