A practical reference on the operating characteristics, efficiencies, design features, reliability and maintenance of compressors and steam turbine drives,the types used in heavy process industries. Much of the material has been taken from steam turbine and compressor manufacturers from the USA and Europe. The user-oriented handbook focuses on techniques and selection process, as well as analysis problems, prevention, and maintenance and troubleshooting techniques. INDICE: Why mechanical drive steam turbines are applied; overview of steamturbine fundamentals; overview of steam turbine types and controls; turbine casing and major stationary components; bearings for mechanical drive turbines and compressors; rotors for impulse turbines; rotors for reaction turbines; turbine blade design overview; turbine auxiliaries; governors and control systems; steam turbine control strategies; couplings and coupling considerations; rotor dynamics technology; Campbell, Goodman and SAFE diagrams for steam turbineblades; reaction versus impulse-type steam turbines; performance degradation in steam turbines; transmission elements for high speed turbomachinery; shortcut graphical methods of turbine selection; Elliot shortcut selection method.
