Newly revised, this new fifth edition includes a chapter on waste heat recovery and discusses this technology in detail including a the advantages and barriers to waste heat recovery, environmental restraints, thermodynamics of heat recovery, fluid properties, boiler, condensers, steam turbines, off design behavior and exhaust catalyst. This book shows how microturbine designs rely heavily on the centrifugal compressor and are, in many aspects, similar to the early flight engines and will illustrate how the approach of the microturbine designer is to minimize cost.
- Gives readers a better understanding of the compression process and the parameters that impact that process
- Provides the fundamental information needed to understand both the operation and proper application of all types of gas turbines
- Discusses operating parameters, controls, inlet and exhaust treatments, inspection, troubleshooting, noise control, inlet cooling for power augmentation and NOx control
- Includes helpful tips that will enable diagnosis of problems in their early stages and analysis of failures to prevent their recurrence
