Reflecting the developments in gas turbine combustion technology
that have occurred in the last decade, Gas Turbine Combustion:
Alternative Fuels and Emissions, Third Edition provides an
up-to-date design manual and research reference on the design,
manufacture, and operation of gas turbine combustors in
applications ranging from aeronautical to power generation.
Essentially self-contained, the book only requires a moderate
amount of prior knowledge of physics and chemistry.
In response to the fluctuating cost and environmental effects of
petroleum fuel, this third edition includes a new chapter on
alternative fuels. This chapter presents the physical and chemical
properties of conventional (petroleum-based) liquid and gaseous
fuels for gas turbines; reviews the properties of alternative
(synthetic) fuels and conventional-alternative fuel blends; and
describes the influence of these different fuels and their blends
on combustor performance, design, and emissions. It also discusses
the special requirements of aircraft fuels and the problems
encountered with fuels for industrial gas turbines. In the updated
chapter on emissions, the authors highlight the quest for higher
fuel efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissions as well as
the regulations involved.
Continuing to offer detailed coverage of multifuel capabilities,
flame flashback, high off-design combustion efficiency, and liner
failure studies, this best-selling book is the premier guide to gas
turbine combustion technology. This edition retains the style that
made its predecessors so popular while updating the material to
reflect the technology of the twenty-first century.
