Advanced Gas Turbine Technology - a Challenge for Science and Industry

Gas turbines have key applications in power generation and aero propulsion. From early beginnings, engineering for industrial and aero gas turbines grew out of the same sources, developed an intensive cross-fruition and competes now in exceptional performance targets. Gas turbine design unites demanding engineering disciplines - an ongoing challenge for applied science and advanced industries. Presented examples are on scientific aero/ thermodynamics as well as on materials and production technology.
