Book Description

0750678461 978-0750678469 May 12, 2006 3
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.

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 benefit and some of the major problems that have been encountered by these new turbines. The book keeps abreast of the environmental changes and the industries answer to these new regulations. A new chapter on case histories has been added to enable the engineer in the field to keep abreast of problems that are being encountered and the solutions that have resulted in solving them.

* Comprehensive treatment of Gas Turbines from Design to Operation and Maintenance. In depth treatment 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 the student and field engineers

* A special maintenance section dealing with the advanced gas turbines, and special diagnostic charts have been provided that will enable the reader to troubleshoot problems he encounters in the field.

* The third edition consists of many Case Histories of Gas Turbine problems. This should enable the field engineer to avoid some of these same generic problems.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Review of first edition:

"This important handbook comes to us from an experienced engineer at a most opportune time. Never has the cost of energy been greater, nor is there a promise that it has reached its price ceiling. Dr. Boyce is aware of these concerns, and through this handbook he has provided the guide and means for optimum use of each unit of energy supplied to a gas turbine. The handbook should find its place in all the reference libraries of those engineers and technicians who have even a small responsibility for design and operation of gas turbines." - Clifford M. Simmang, Texas A&M University

Book Description

Revision of the long-standing standard and most widely used book in the industry for engineers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent buy, March 12, 2007
This review is from: Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook, Third Edition (Hardcover)
This book covers everything about gas turbines, from bearings to IGVs, and from vibrations to balancing. Nothing is left out. I strongly recommend this book especially to practicing engineers (like myself) in this field.

This review is from: Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook, Third Edition (Hardcover)
My thanks goes out to Dr Boyce for an excellent book. I have just come back to the power generation industry afetr a few years absence and my job invloves gas turbine performance testting and inspection. This book has assisted me greatly to get back up to speed with gas turbine plant.

Also many thanks to Amazon for the speedy delivery to Australia!
