Blending fuels with hydrogen offers the potential to reduce NOx and CO2 emissions in gas turbines, but doing so introduces potential new problems such as flashback. Flashback can lead to thermal overload and destruction of hardware in the turbine engine, with potentially expens…
History and classifications of aero-engine -- Performance parameters of jet engines -- Pulsejet and ramjet engines -- Turbojet engine -- Turbofan engines -- Shaft engines -- High speed supersonic and hypersonic engines -- Industrial gas turbines -- Power plant installation and i…
The second edition of a comprehensive textbook that introduces turbomachinery and gas turbines through design methods and examples.
"There is currently no comparable book available that covers both the history and future potential applications of closed-cycle gas turbines. This book is intended for design engineers and engineering managers in the worldwide gas turbine/power generation industry. Upper-level e…
