When the First Edition of this book was written in 1951, the gas
turbine was just becoming established as a powerplant for military
aircraft. It took another decade before the gas turbine was
introduced to civil aircraft, and this market developed so rapidly
that the passenger liner was rendered obsolete. Other markets like
naval propulsion, pipeline compression and electrical power
applications grew steadily. In recent years the gas turbine, in
combination with the steam turbine, has played an ever-increasing
role in power generation. Despite the rapid advances in both output
and efficiency, the basic theory of the gas turbine has remained
unchanged. The layout of this new edition is broadly similar to the
original, but greatly expanded and updated, comprising an outline
of the basic theory, aerodynamic design of individual components,
and the prediction of off-design performance. The addition of a
chapter devoted to the mechanical design of gas turbines greatly
enhances the scope of the book. Descriptions of engine developments
and current markets make this book useful to both students and
practising engineers.
