Industrial Gas Turbines: Performance and Operability
Woodhead Publishing Ltd, Oct 2007, Pages: 624
Industrial gas turbines: Performance and operability
- discusses the key factors in determining the performance of compressors, turbines, combustion and engine controls
- explains important aspects of gas and turbine performance such as service life and engine emissions
- accompanied by CD illustrating gas turbine performance, building on the concepts discussed in the text
- allows readers to simulate various aspects of performance such as emissions and power augmentation
Industrial gas turbines:
Performance and operability explains important aspects of gas turbine performance such as performance deterioration, service life and engine emissions. Traditionally, gas turbine performance has been taught from a design perspective with insufficient attention paid to the operational issues of a specific site. Operators are not always sufficiently familiar with engine performance issues to resolve operational problems and optimise performance.
Industrial gas turbines:
Performance and operability discusses the key factors determining the performance of compressors, turbines, combustion and engine controls. An accompanying engine simulator CD illustrates gas turbine performance from the perspective of the operator, building on the concepts discussed in the text. The simulator is effectively a virtual engine and can be subjected to operating conditions that would be dangerous and damaging to an engine in real-life conditions. It also deals with issues of engine deterioration, emissions and turbine life. The combined use of text and simulators is designed to allow the reader to better understand and optimise gas turbine operation.
