Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook, 3rd Edition

Published April 2006

• Written by the field’s most well-known expert, Dr. Meherwan P.Boyce
• Over a 150 new pages
• Offers the engineer the latest in design, operation and maintenance techniques, which would enable the engineer to operate the plant at maximum efficiency, availability, and reliability
• Presents detail techniques on handling of gaseous and liquid fuels.
• Comprehensive diagnostic charts for trouble shooting mechanical and performance related problems
• Provides must have information that the engineer needs on a daily basis in the area of Performance and Maintenance
• A new chapter detailing case histories of failures in various components of Gas Turbines

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 for the past 24 years.  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, as the most widely used book in this field.  Many of the chapters have been updated with new information and with special emphasis on axial flow compressors, fuels, and maintenance techniques.  A new chapter has been added on case histories that investigate various types of gas turbine failures and how these failures could have been avoided.

At a time when energy costs have reached their highest this important handbook written by an experienced engineer, expertly guides plant engineers to operate their plants with maximum efficiency, and high availability.
