Turbine Thermal Appraisal A Spreadsheet Approach [Hardcover]

This is a book of practical Thermotechnics for turbines, aimed at technicians and engineers who have responsibilities in turbine facilities, or participate in engineering projects where turbines are a component of a larger complex. This book is also aimed at professionals who are responsible for turbine procurement, either in its complete form or for acquisition of spare parts. An important part of this book's philosophy is to explain easy-to-use mathematical tools to evaluate actual operational turbines, or generate behavior models of a turbine operation for benchmarking purposes. These mathematical tools are specifically developed in spreadsheets to solve practical problems.
