Among various mechanical devices built to produce power for
industrial and societal needs, gas turbines offer a number of
significant advantages. The sliding components in reciprocating
engines cause considerable vibrations. Hydroelectric power from
turbines using water is a great resource, but potential sites are
limited. Steam power plants require expensive steam generating
equipment of large bulk, and installation may stretch over lengthy
time periods. In contrast, gas turbines operate smoothly with low
vibrations, are compact in size, can be started rapidly from rest
and may be installed fairly quickly. Gas turbines offer even
greater benefits in the aviation arena. Turbojet and multi-rotor
turbofan engines have no competition for powering larger aircrafts
at faster speeds. Applications in other fields abound. An
outstanding example is the aeroderivative gas turbines on offshore
oil platforms, where their lighter weight, smaller footprint and
ability to burn many different types of fuel make it a clear
choice. This book is written to meet the needs of students in
engineering colleges and practicing engineers. The material has
been specifically tailored for college undergraduate and graduate
level design engineering of rotating machine courses. In keeping
with its mostly introductory nature, the primary focus is on
thermodynamic cycle design and practical mechanical design
features. Where possible, electronic spreadsheet type of
calculations is used in example problems to calculate flow
characteristics and related cycle design parameters. The book
focuses on: Fuel consumption, power output and exhaust gas
emissions State-of-the-art in the thermal and fluid flow
technologies for design of single and multi-rotor gas turbines
Methods to enhance performance through creative component designs
Analysis of complex problems ranging from compressor stall to
optimizing operation from partial to full load.
