This comprehensive, best-selling reference provides the fundamental information you'll need to understand both the operation and proper application of all types of gas turbines. The full spectrum of hardware, as well as typical application scenarios are fully explored, along with operating parameters, controls, inlet and exhaust treatments, inspection, troubleshooting, noise control, inlet cooling for power augmentation and NOx control. This latest edition includes a new chapter on microturbines and additional case studies. The author has provided many helpful tips that will enable diagnosis of problems in their early stages and analysis of failures to prevent their recurrence. Also treated are the effects of the external environment on gas turbines operation and life, as well as the impact of the gas turbine on its surrounding environment.

SO! SO!,

This review is from: Gas Turbine Handbook, Third edition: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)
About all I can say is that it gathers all the basic Gas Turbine information one can find in an afternoon on the Internet in one place.
This book is tragically lacking in depth. You'd think spending nearly 100 dollars for a book would buy you a better source of information than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars
You just can't get more authoritative - or any clearer - than this,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gas Turbine Handbook, Third edition: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)
The updated third edition of GAS TURBINE HANDBOOK: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES provides all the fundamental mechanical details any need to understand the operation and application of all kinds of gas turbines. Hardware, typical applications, parameters, controls, troubleshooting - it's all covered in an edition which sports a new chapter on microturbines and new case studies. The author has over thirty years of experience in installing, operating and maintaining equipment and controls for both on- and off-shore environments, is a registered engineers in different states, and has written many articles for technical journals. You just can't get more authoritative - or any clearer - than this.
