Combustion Instabilities in Gas Turbine Engines Operational Experience, Fundamental Mechanisms, And Modeling

Higher operating efficiencies, fewer pollutant emissions, and low capital investment have made gas turbines a dominant technology for new power generating capacity in the U.S. and worldwide. This book offers gas turbine users and manufacturers a valuable resource to help them sort through issues associated with combustion instabilities. In the last ten years, substantial efforts have been made in the industrial, governmental, and academic communities to understand the unique issues associated with combustion instabilities in low-emission gas turbines. The objective of this book is to compile these results into a series of chapters that address the various facets of the problem. The Case Studies section speaks to specific manufacturer and user experiences with combustion instabilities in the development stage and in fielded turbine engines. The book then goes on to examine The Fundamental Mechanisms, The Combustor Modeling, and Control Approaches.Yang, Vigor is the author of 'Combustion Instabilities in Gas Turbine Engines Operational Experience, Fundamental Mechanisms, And Modeling', published 2005 under ISBN 9781563476693 and ISBN 156347669X.
