GAS Turbine Combustion, Second Edition

Front Cover
CRC Press, Sep 1, 1998 - Technology & Engineering - 416 pages
This revised edition provides understanding of the basic physical, chemical, and aerodynamic processes associated with gas turbine combustion and their relevance and application to combustor performance and design. It also introduces the many new concepts for ultra-low emissions combustors, and new advances in fuel preparation and liner wall-cooling techniques for their success. It details advanced and practical approaches to combustor design for the clean burning of alternative liquid fuels derived from oil shades, tar sands, and coal. Additional topics include diffusers, combustion performance fuel injection, combustion noise, heat transfer, and emissions.
