This exciting new text deals with the history and future of the closed cycle gas turbine, supplying detailed information on plant installations and design experience in order to give a comprehensive picture of how the technology has progressed over the years. It discusses problems encountered and how they were solved, and includes background theory that will be invaluable to designers developing the technology in the future.

This unique text offers a unified and comprehensive resource of material that is otherwise widely dispersed and difficult to access; there is currently no comparable book available that covers both the history and future potential applications of closed-cycle gas turbines.

Features:

• Key topic for future power generation.
• Provides a comprehensive resource of information that is otherwise widely dispersed and difficult to access.
• Examines both the future and the history of the closed cycle gas turbine, providing a thorough and exhaustive coverage of the topic.
• Features copious illustrations to supplement the written material.
• Focuses solely on the topic of closed-cycle gas turbines.
• Closed cycle gas turbines have a key role to play in burning low-grade fuel and reducing CO2 gas emissions.
