Try getting a copy of Cohen and Rogers , Gas Turbine Theory , written in the 1950- 60's , it has all the info you'll need. Cheers John ty.. though ...

Re: re: Turbine design for the complete idiot

Pratt and Whitney have a number of good books from the basic stages to more advanced design parameters, Im not sure if they are made widely available to people outside the company though. I would imagine other companies like GE , and Rolls Royce would have similar sets of books. And as Hank says th...

Re: How to accurately draw and cut a cone-shape from metalpl

What is the most accurate way (without very special tools) to cut out the shape of an unfolded cone-mantle, I know exactly what that shape is, but not how to get that exact shape out af a metal plate. For instance, how do I draw that shape, I don't have very accurate tools to measure angles, only a...

Can you design something on paper that would have a reasonable chance of being succesful at developing an ef...
