Gas Turbine Diagnostics

"Very well written and easy to understand for practical use by engineers in industry and researchers from academia and industry. ... Excellent book on the topic with comprehensive description of the theory and a simple approach for gas turbine engine performance diagnostics."

-Ashwani K. Gupta, University of Maryland, College Park, USA

"... unique ... a single reference for numerous techniques of fault analysis and isolation. The book in its 12 chapters provides an organized way for fault analysis in gas turbines. Simple algorithms using MATLAB (R) are developed based on Kalman filters, neural networks and fuzzy logic, and a hybrid soft computing approach. The book is useful for both engineers and scientists interested in gas turbine diagnostics."

-Dr. Ahmed F. El-Sayed, Zagazig University, Egypt

"The book provides a good overview of the subject of signal processing and fault isolation. The book is well structured, with individual chapters providing a good overview of a specific aspect of the subject. The book would make a good reference text for a more experienced engineer, and also assist those new to the subject to learn about specific signal processing and fault isolation techniques."
-Anthony Geoffrey Sheard, Flakt Woods Limited, UK

"Today's gas turbine industry is a multi-billion dollar business. ... The use of advanced simulation and analysis has been gaining importance, particularly in the area of gas path diagnostics. Whilst academia has made important contributions, it is industry that has to employ these advanced techniques. Professor Ranjan Ganguli's book, Gas Turbine Diagnostics: Signal Processing and Fault Isolation, is an important contribution because of the blend of scholarship and industry practice."
