Recenzje

'It is rare that one comes across a book that can be considered seminal in the area of gas turbine engineering and that provides an excellent blend of theory and practice of the state of the art of heavy- duty advanced gas turbines. The book provides a detailed, lucid, and insightful treatment of a wide range of gas turbine topics, including history, cycles, components and their interactions, and technology trends. It provides a quantitative and qualitative treatment of the subject matter with usable equations, insights, and rules of thumb that enable quick design checks and calculations. It will be of immense value to designers and users of gas turbines. Gülen's technical leadership over the past two and a half decades has contributed immeasurably to the current understanding of large advanced gas turbines. Much of this expertise has been successfully encapsulated in this book. This book is of archival quality and will endure and enrich gas turbine engineers for decades to come.' Cyrus B.
