Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook

Written by the field’s most well known expert, the Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook has been the standard for engineers involved in the design, selection, and operation of gas turbines. The material covers a wide area, from design to maintenance practices, widely used by engineers in earlier editions because of its broad and comprehensive coverage. By keeping the book up to date with new emerging topics, Boyce ensures that this book will remain the standard, most widely used book in this field. The field of gas turbines is rapidly changing, not only in the technology, but also in legislation. New chapters including Overview of Gas Turbines, Axial Flow Compressors, Axial Flow Turbines, Combustors, and Maintenance Techniques will be included, along with a valuable new chapter on case histories that will explore various types of gas turbine failures and how these failures could have been avoided
