Series Preface
The Wiley‐ASME Press Series in Mechanical Engineering brings together two established leaders in mechanical engineering publishing to deliver high‐quality, peer‐reviewed books covering topics of current interest to engineers and researchers worldwide.
The series publishes across the breadth of mechanical engineering, comprising research, design and development, and manufacturing. It includes monographs, references and course texts.
Prospective topics include emerging and advanced technologies in Engineering Design; Computer‐Aided Design; Energy Conversion & Resources; Heat Transfer; Manufacturing & Processing; Systems & Devices; Renewable Energy; Robotics; and Biotechnology.
Preface
The reciprocating piston engine and the gas turbine engine are two of the most vital and widely used internal combustion heat engines ever invented. Piston engines are still dominant in the areas of land and marine transportation, mining, and agricultural industries. They also play a significant role in light aircraft and stand‐by power‐generation applications. Power that can be generated by piston engines ranges from a fraction of a kilowatt to more than 80 MW, with thermal efficiencies approaching 50%. Gas turbines are dominant in civil and military aviation and play a major role in base, midrange, and peak load electric power generation ranging from small stand‐by units up to 300 MW per engine with thermal efficiencies approaching 40% at the upper range and 500 MW in combined cycle configurations with thermal efficiencies approaching 60%. Gas turbines are also ideal as power plants operating in conjunction with large renewable power plants to eliminate intermittency.
Demand for power and mobility in its different forms will continue to increase in the twenty‐first century as hundreds of millions of people in the developing world become more affluent, and the cheapest and most efficient means of satisfying this demand will continue to be the heat engine. As a consequence, the heat engine will most likely remain an active area of research and development and engineering education for the foreseeable future. Traditionally, the piston engine has been an ideal tool for teaching mechanical
