Turbine Steam Path Mechanical Design and Manufacture, Volume IIIA

Mr. Sanders is to be congratulated for his dedication to the mechanical engineering profession by contributing this well written and thorough work for the benefit of the entire power generation industry. --Thomas H. McCloskey, Manager, Turbomachinery, Electric Power Research Institute

This ready-reference contains valuable insight for the engineer faced with design and manufacture decisions. A continuation of Sanders' two volumes on maintenance and repair, this volume represents the first in a subsequent two volume set on mechanical design and manufacture, completing the remaining portion of his popular seminar. In this volume, Sanders turns his focus to design options and the challenges faced in selecting and arranging the components to optimize unit performance efficiency, reliability, and safety, providing the reader with the necessary information to evaluate the performance, refurbishment, and upgrading of a unit.
