{ "item_title" : "Gas Turbine Systems Engineering Handbook", "item_author" : [" Wynne Wisdom "], "item_description" : "Understand Industrial Gas Turbine Systems-from Engineering Fundamentals to Real-World Operation, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting How do industrial gas turbines convert fuel into reliable power, and what does it take to keep these complex machines operating safely and efficiently? Industrial gas turbines are essential to modern power generation, gas processing, and mechanical-drive applications. Yet understanding their operation requires more than knowing individual components. Engineers and technicians must understand how thermodynamics, compressor performance, combustion systems, turbine components, auxiliary equipment, and control systems work together. This book provides a structured, practical introduction to the engineering principles and operational practices behind industrial gas turbine installations. What You'll Learn - Gas Turbine Fundamentals: Understand the Brayton cycle, thermodynamic principles, pressure ratios, compressor work, turbine work, and energy conversion. - Performance Analysis: Calculate thermal efficiency, net power output, and heat rate while understanding the effects of ambient conditions and equipment deterioration. - Maintenance and Inspection: Understand preventive maintenance, compressor cleaning, borescope inspections, hot-section examinations, vibration monitoring, and overhaul planning. - Troubleshooting and Fault Diagnosis: Investigate reduced output, excessive fuel consumption, abnormal vibration, bearing overheating, combustion instability, and unexpected shutdowns. Inside, you'll find: - Worked engineering calculations with explanations and practical interpretation. - Technical diagrams and comparison tables illustrating equipment functions and system relationships. - Maintenance planning frameworks and condition-monitoring principles. - Structured troubleshooting methods for investigating common turbine abnormalities. - Industrial examples connecting engineering theory with operational decisions. Who This Book Is For This handbook is suitable for mechanical engineering students, power generation engineers, plant operators, maintenance and reliability engineers, industrial technicians, and technical professionals seeking a broader understanding of stationary gas turbine systems.
