Gas turbine is a type of continuous combustion, internal combustion engine. The main elements that are common to all gas turbine engines are an upstream rotating gas compressor, a combustor and a downstream turbine on the same shaft as the compressor. Some of the most common types of gas turbines are jet engines, turboprop engines, aeroderivative gas turbines and industrial gas turbines. Gas turbine engineering deals with the design, selection, maintenance and operation of gas turbines. It studies the underlying principles of gas turbine operations as well as the economic considerations and implications of operating these machines. The topics included in this book on gas turbine engineering are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It is an upcoming field of science that has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
