It also features both calculated and actual examples for gas turbines, steam turbines, and simple and combined cycles from major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). In addition, novel cycles proposed by researchers and independent technology developers will also be critically examined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be a valuable reference for practicing engineers, enabling the reader to approach the most difficult thermal design and analysis problems in a logical manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Gülen\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003ePhD 1992\u003c\/strong\u003e, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York), PE, ASME Fellow, Bechtel Fellow, has more than 25 years of mechanical engineering experience covering a wide spectrum of technology, system, and software design; development (GTPRO\/MASTER, THERMOFLEX); performance and cost assessment; and analysis, primarily in the field of steam and gas turbine combined cycle (109FB-SS, IGCC 207FB, H-System) process and power plant turbomachinery and thermodynamics (in Thermoflow Inc., General Electric, and Bechtel).
