Overview

Basics of Gas Turbines is a comprehensive introduction and reference for those approaching gas turbine engineering for the first time. Just as in Meherwan Boyce's classic, the author draws on unrivalled practical experience to lead the reader through crucial theory and background information before introducing the essentials of gas turbine technology and operation. This is the best place for gas turbine professionals and students to find up-to-date legislation and emerging topics, and to get a basic understanding of the underlying principles of gas turbine operation. In addition, the book's companion, Gas Turbine Operations will be an ideal reference for an all-around understanding.
