Year: 2011 Language: english Author: Bernie MacIsaac & Roy Langton Genre: Textbook Publisher: WILEY Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 341 Description: The gas turbine industry began in the 1940s and, for many decades, it remained an object of research by universities and government laboratories as well as the many commercial establishments which sprang to life in an effort to exploit the technology. During this period, much basic research was conducted and information exchange was encouraged. It is noteworthy that the British Government, which had sponsored much of the development of the Whittle engine, shared the entire technical package with the US Government as a war measure. This resulted in the US Government supporting its continued development at the General Electric facilities at Lynn, Massachusetts. Many companies were formed in Europe and in North America during the 1950s, each of which offered designs tailored to specific applications. In addition to the rapidly expanding aeronautical and defense industries, other applications began to emerge for non-aeronautical engines. These included gas pipelines, electrical power generation and naval propulsion. In short, the industry was booming and employment for engineers was readily obtained. More importantly, there were many opportunities to learn about this fascinating machine.
