Lieuwen (aerospace engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology) and Yang (mechanical engineering, The Pennsylvania State University) offer gas turbine users and manufacturers a resource on combustion instabilities in low-emission gas turbines, focusing on combustion-driven oscillations. Case studies are followed by chapters on fundamental processes and mechanisms in combustion instabilities in premixed and nonpremixed combustors. A section on models and diagnostics describes analytical and computational approaches for modeling the acoustic characteristics of combustor geometries. Final chapters cover combustion instability and control. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
