The second edition is not only an updating of the technology in gas turbines, which has seen a great leap forward in the 1990s, but also a rewriting of various sections to better answer today's problems in the design, fabrication, installation, operation, and main- tenance of gas turbines. The new advanced gas turbines have firing tempera- tures of 2600  F (1427  C), and pressure ratio's exceeding 40:1 in aircraft gas turbines, and over 30:1 in industrial turbines. Advances in materials, and coat- ings have spurred this technology, and the new edition has treated this new area in great detail. The emphasis on low NO x emissions from gas turbines has led to the development of a new breed of dry low NO x combustors, which are dealt in depth in this new edition. The second edition deals with an upgrade of most of the applicable codes both in the area of performance and mechanical standards. The book has been written to provide an overall view for the experienced engineer working in a specialized aspect of the subject and for the young engineering graduate or undergraduate student who is being exposed to the turbomachinery field for the first time. The book will be very useful as a textbook for undergraduate turbomachinery courses as well as for in-house company training programs related to the petrochemical, power generation, and offshore industries. The use of gas turbines in the petrochemical, power generation, and off- shore industries has mushroomed in the past few years. In the past 10 years, the power industry has embraced the Combined Cycle Power Plants and the new high efficiency gas turbines are at the center of this growth segment of the industry. This has also led to the rewriting of chapters 1 and 2. It is to these users and manufacturers of gas turbines that this book is directed. The book will give the manufacturer a glimpse of some of the problems asso- ciated with his equipment in the field and help the user to achieve maximum performance efficiency and high availability of his gas turbines. I have been involved in the research, design, operation, and maintenance of gas turbines since the early 1960s. I have also taught courses at the graduate and undergraduate level at the University of Oklahoma and Texas A&M University, and now, in general, to the industry. There have been over 3,000 students through my courses designed for the engineer in the field representing over 400 companies from around the world. Companies have x [...]...
