The feel-good place to buy books
Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook by Meherwan P Boyce Fellow American Society Of Mechanical Engineers And Fellow The Institute Of Diesel And Gas Turbine Engineers
Suitable for engineers involved in the design, selection, maintenance and operation of gas turbines, this title covers a range of topics from design specifications to maintenance troubleshooting. It also includes case histories that offer practical trouble-shooting guidance and solutions.
"Consultant mechanical engineer Boyce integrates developments in areas such as lubrication and controls for gas turbines during the four years since the previous edition of his textbook and referenceApplications have also expanded rapidly in such fields as petrochemicals, power generation, and offshore industries. The book could be used for graduate or undergraduate turbomachinery courses or in company training programs in the fields mentioned. It covers the theory and practice of design; major components; materials, fuel technology, and fuel systems; auxiliary components and accessories; and installation, operation, and maintenance." --Reference and Research News, October 2012
