Gas Turbine Handbook Principles and Practices 3rd Edition

Gas Turbine Handbook Principles and Practices 3rd Edition is undertaken to cover a subject that captured my time and attention and is of interest to many people not usually involved with gas turbines. This subject is micro turbines. Micro turbines were first considered a viable product in the early-to-mid 1990’s. Part of the popularity with the idea of a very small gas turbine was the result of the successes with miniaturization in the electronic industry; part was the lack of competition for reciprocating engines; and part was the steadily increasing price & decreasing availability of electricity. Price and availability of electricity led to the concept now known as Distributed Generation (DG). And the micro turbine fits DG to a tee.

Through the design experience developed for steam turbines and available to gas turbines, it is not surprising that gas generator compressors, turbines, and power-extraction turbines bear a striking resemblance to each other and to the steam turbine. Nor should it be surprising that the axial fl ow compressors of today’s gas turbines resemble the reaction steam turbine with
the flow direction reversed.

Gas turbines are used in diversified services from jet engines and simple mechanical drives (on land, sea and air) to sophisticated gas lasers and supersonic wind tunnels. For simplicity the gas turbine will be considered for airborne applications and surface (land and sea) based applications.
