This book consists of 16 contributions treating all aspects of turbine design. After an overview and chapters on turbine cooling design and turbomachinery clearance control, coverage includes internal cooling, film cooling, endwall aerodynamics and heat transfer, trailing-edge cooling, blade tip aerodynamics and heat transfer, nickel-based superalloys, thermal barrier coatings, nondestructive evaluation, and erosion, deposition, and their effect on performance. The concluding chapter discusses the effects of alternative fuels and engine cycles on turbine cooling. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
