Preface:

Until 1970s (about 30 yrs ago), power generating gas turbines are very little known in process or power industries in many parts of the world. Its importance in industrial development for the power and process industries was realized then. The rapid increase then in industrial developments in the country and around the globe has brought importance in developing power generating gas turbines in process and power industries. The present day concept of total energy is nothing but the very old concept of generating combined electric power and process heat / steam using single source of fuel supply. Power generating or industrial gas turbines played a leading role in this concept of total energy and achieved reduction in cost of production in many process industries like oil refineries, textile mills and steel plants. Now power generating gas turbines have made break through all over the world particularly in the field of gas turbine heat recovery employed in combined cycle cogeneration and combined cycle power generation systems.

This book is intended to serve the needs of engineers working in the field of total energy concept of power generating gas turbines being used in process or power industries. The capability of power generating gas turbines delivering its maximum power output at its best efficiency most economically depends largely on the capability of firing the cheapest fuel available in the region. Hence this book is dedicated towards the development of power generating gas turbines with reference to its use of gas, liquid and solid fossil fuels to meet the future needs of process and power industries. The techniques already used and being developed for the use of above fuels in gas turbines are elaborated and discussed in detail. The oil fuel extraction, classification and the required treatment are discussed in this book so that the working engineer will understand its features effectively. It will also enable the engineers working in the field to understand the significance of fuel being used by them. The thermodynamics of power generating gas turbine which decides the basic parameters and also its operating performance is also described in detail. The varying ambient condition at any place of operation necessitates the working engineer to know the significance of off-design performance of power generating gas turbines as air at its ambient conditions is used as heat carrying medium in it. The engineer working in the field is required to know the essential control logics of power generating gas turbine which is also well described. The salient features of steam turbines used in combined cycle power plants and their control and operating methods are also discussed in detail for the benefit of users. This book will enable the working level engineers in the field of combined cycle power and cogeneration to have up to date knowledge, present developments and future needs.
