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 in manufacturing plants engaged in design and manufacturing, power plant operation technicians, and project initiation managers in power plants. It is also suitable as a teaching reference book for thermal energy majors in higher education institutions. 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, especially in gas-steam combined cycles. At the end, it lists the performance data, cost comparison, and the design, manufacturing, and gas turbine series of the world's most advanced gas turbine manufacturers and combined cycles. The book is divided into two main parts: the first part is basic principles, and the second part is engineering applications. 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. This book is suitable for technical and management personnel in manufacturing plants engaged in design and manufacturing, power plant operation technicians, and project initiation managers in power plants. It is also suitable as a teaching reference book for thermal energy majors in higher education institutions.
