ReviewsReview of first edition:This important handbook comes to us from an experienced engineer at a most opportune time. Never has the cost of energy been greater, nor is there a promise that it has reached its price ceiling. Dr. Boyce is aware of these concerns, and through this handbook he has provided the guide and means for optimum use of each unit of energy supplied to a gas turbine. The handbook should find its place in all the reference libraries of those engineers and technicians who have even a small responsibility for design and operation of gas turbines.Clifford M.

SynopsisThe gas turbine is a power plant which produces a great amount of energy for its size and weight. This is a comprehensive treatment of gas turbines. The author discusses the design, fabrication, installation, operation and maintenance of gas turbines. He presents the necessary data, along with suggestions to assist engineers in obtaining optimum performance for any gas turbine, under all conditions. The intent of the work is to serve as a reference text after it has accomplished its primary objective of introducing the reader to the broad subject of gas turbines.
