Download or read book Modern Gas Turbine Systems written by Peter Jansohn and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 849 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern gas turbine power plants represent one of the most efficient and economic conventional power generation technologies suitable for large-scale and smaller scale applications. Alongside this, gas turbine systems operate with low emissions and are more flexible in their operational characteristics than other large-scale generation units such as steam cycle plants. Gas turbines are unrivalled in their superior power density (power-to-weight) and are thus the prime choice for industrial applications where size and weight matter the most. Developments in the field look to improve on this performance, aiming at higher efficiency generation, lower emission systems and more fuel-flexible operation to utilise lower-grade gases, liquid fuels, and gasified solid fuels/biomass. Modern gas turbine systems provides a comprehensive review of gas turbine science and engineering. The first part of the book provides an overview of gas turbine types, applications and cycles. Part two moves on to explore major components of modern gas turbine systems including compressors, combustors and turbogenerators. Finally, the operation and maintenance of modern gas turbine systems is discussed in part three. The section includes chapters on performance issues and modelling, the maintenance and repair of components and fuel flexibility. Modern gas turbine systems is a technical resource for power plant operators, industrial engineers working with gas turbine power plants and researchers, scientists and students interested in the field. Provides a comprehensive review of gas turbine systems and fundamentals of a cycle Examines the major components of modern systems, including compressors, combustors and turbines Discusses the operation and maintenance of component parts

Download or read book Advances in brazing written by R. Asthana and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-03-04 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) outperform traditional ceramics in many ways and have shown potential for demanding applications. Net-shape manufacture of CMC parts is challenging, and many advanced applications demand robust and reliable integration technologies such as brazing. Brazing of CMC/metal joints is reviewed, highlighting scientific issues together with a discussion of some of the challenges that brazing of CMCs presents. Brazing practices for SiC–SiC, C–SiC, C–C, ZrB2-based ultra-high-temperature composites, and oxide, nitride and silicate-based composites are presented. Recent research results on interface microstructure, composition and properties are discussed. Scaling effects, time–temperature–environment dependent thermomechanical properties, design guidelines and life-prediction analyses, and tools for CMC/metal joints to be used in structures constitute future research imperatives.
