Gas Turbine Theory - Grand Format

Despite the rapid advances in both output and efficiency, the basic theory of the gas turbine has remained unchanged. The layout of this new edition is broadly similar to the original, but greatly expanded and updated, comprising an outline of the basic theory, aerodynamic design of individual components, and the prediction of off-design performance. The addition of a chapter devoted to the mechanical design of gas turbines greatly enhances the scope of the book.
Descriptions of engine developments and cement markets make this book useful to both students and practising engineers. Features : Completely updated to cover current industry requirements and applications Coverage of both aircraft and industrial gas turbines Includes detailed treatment of off-design performance Incorporates in-depth examples throughout Based on the authors' extensive teaching and professional experience Gas Turbine Theory is the classic course text on gas turbines, suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students of mechanical and aeronautical engineering.
This new edition will also continue to be a valuable reference for practising gas turbine engineers.
