Online resources: Summary: Written by one of the field's most well known experts, the Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook has long been the standard for engineers involved in the design, selection, maintenance and operation of gas turbines. With far reaching, comprehensive coverage across a range of topics from design specifications to maintenance troubleshooting, this one-stop resource provides newcomers to the industry with all the essentials to learn and fill knowledge gaps, and established practicing gas turbine engineers with a reliable go-to reference. This new edition brings the Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook right up to date with new legislation and emerging topics to help the next generation of gas turbine professionals understand the underlying principles of gas turbine operation, the economic considerations and implications of operating these machines, and how they fit in with alternative methods of power generation. The most comprehensive one-stop source of information on industrial gas turbines, with vital background, maintenance information, legislative details and calculations combined in an essential all-in-one reference Written by an industry-leading consultant and trainer and suitable for use as a training companion or a reliable dip-in guide Includes hard-won information from industry experts in the form of case histories that offer practical trouble-shooting guidance and solutions.Summary: Front Cover -- Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook -- Copyright -- Table of Contents -- Preface to the Fourth Edition -- Preface to the Third Edition -- Preface to the Second Edition -- Preface to the First Edition -- Foreword to the First Edition -- About the Author -- I: Design: Theory and Practice -- 1 An Overview of Gas Turbines -- Gas Turbine Cycle in the Combined Cycle or Cogeneration Mode -- Gas Turbine Performance -- Gas Turbine Design Considerations -- Categories of Gas Turbines -- Frame Type Heavy-Duty Gas Turbines -- Aircraft-Derivative Gas Turbines -- Industrial-Type Gas Turbines -- Small Gas Turbines -- Vehicular Gas Turbines -- Truck Engines -- Microturbines -- Major Gas Turbine Components -- Compressors -- Axial-Flow Compressors -- Centrifugal-Flow Compressors -- Regenerators/Recuperators -- Fuel Type -- Combustors -- Environmental Effects -- The Diffusion Type Combustor -- The Dry Low Emission Combustors -- Typical Combustor Arrangements -- Can-annular and Annular Designs -- Silo-Type Combustors and Side Combustors -- External (Experimental) -- Turbine Expander Section -- Radial-Inflow Turbine -- Mixed-Flow Turbine -- Axial-Flow Turbines -- Materials -- Coatings -- Gas Turbine Heat Recovery -- Supplementary Firing of Heat Recovery Systems -- Instrumentation and Controls -- 2 Theoretical and Actual Cycle Analyses -- The Brayton Cycle -- Regeneration Effect -- Increasing the Work Output of the Simple-Cycle Gas Turbine -- Intercooling and Reheating Effects -- Actual Cycle Analysis -- The Simple Cycle -- The Split-Shaft Simple Cycle -- The Regenerative Cycle -- The Inter-cooled Simple Cycle -- The Reheat Cycle -- The Inter-cooled Regenerative Reheat Cycle -- The Steam Injection Cycle -- The Evaporative Regenerative Cycle -- The Brayton-Rankine Cycle -- Summation of Cycle Analysis -- A General Overview of Combined-Cycle Plants.PPN: PPN: 809473755Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
