Features: This book introduces the basic working principles of gas turbines and engineering-applicable calculation methods for gas turbines. It explains and analyzes the structure, regulation, operation, and maintenance characteristics of gas turbines. It also provides a detailed introduction to the various applications of gas turbines, particularly in gas-steam combined cycles. Suitable for technical and management personnel engaged in design and manufacturing in factories, power plant operation technicians, and project initiation managers in power plants, as well as teaching reference books for thermal energy majors in universities. The book introduces the basic working principles of gas turbines, engineering-applicable calculation methods for gas turbines; explains and analyzes the structure, regulation, operation, and maintenance characteristics of gas turbines; and also provides a detailed introduction to the various applications of gas turbines, especially in fuel-steam combined cycles. At the end, it lists the performance data, cost comparison, and design, manufacturing, and gas turbine series of the most advanced gas turbines and combined cycles in the world. The book is divided into two parts: the first part is basic principles, and the second part is engineering applications. Some special issues of gas turbines, such as technical economic analysis, life estimation, and the impact of atmospheric conditions on performance, are introduced in the appendix.
