Summary

Answering the demand for an applied reference, Gas Turbine Performance is packed with features to facilitate the day-to-day work of engineers who design, manufacture, and operate gas turbines. Comprehensive and user-friendly, it provides professors and students with valuable resources for their course work and research. After presenting an introduction to gas turbine applications, Gas Turbine Performance addresses meeting the various requirements particular to all major applications, such as power generation, mechanical drive, and automotive, marine, and aircraft installations. Throughout, the authors emphasize the importance of dimensionless and other parameter groups in understanding the fundamentals of gas turbine performance.
