Features: This book comprehensively introduces gas turbines and their combined cycle power generation technology. The book is divided into seven chapters: Chapter 1 provides an overview of the thermodynamic principles, types, and characteristics of combined cycles; Chapter 2 briefly introduces the basic characteristics of waste heat boiler combined cycles; Chapters 3 and 4 respectively introduce the working principles, characteristics, and structural features of equipment such as gas turbines, waste heat boilers, and steam turbines, and also describe various layout schemes for waste heat boiler combined cycle power plants; Chapters 5 and 6 respectively introduce coal-fired fluidized bed combined cycles and integrated gasification combined cycles; the final chapter briefly introduces several other new combined cycle power generation technologies centered around gas turbines. Each chapter is followed by review questions. This book is primarily aimed at readers who have a basic grasp of the fundamental knowledge in the field of thermal energy and power engineering and possess knowledge of conventional steam turbine power generation systems. It can serve as a selective course textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in thermal energy and power engineering, as well as a reference for postgraduate students and technical and managerial personnel engaged in power station design, research, testing, and operation.
