Gas Turbines is a newly updated chapter drawing from Chapter 4 of the 1992 Harrington 3rd edition. The marine engineering associated with gas turbines is well established, and they continue to play a central role in naval propulsion and auxiliary power. This chapter covers gas turbine fundamentals and performance, including single- and multi-spool designs, installation and maintenance, and key system components. It highlights advances in control systems, compressor and turbine design, combustion and lubrication, and the application of marine gas turbines in today’s ships.
