In recent years, modern precision manufacturing techniques and design methods have substantially improved the performance of micro-turbine generators (MTG). Compared to conventional generators, micro-turbine power sources are much smaller and portable. Microturbine generators are also proving to be more<br /> efficient, easier to maintain, and more environmentally friendly with fewer emissions. <p>Although power generators running on microturbines can use various types of energy sources, Micro-turbine Generators brings together a wide range of engineering experience to describe the emergence of micro-turbine technology, its viability and its future potential.<br /> </p> <p>COMPLETE CONTENTS:</p> <ul> <li> <div>Foreword</div> </li> <li> <div>An introduction to micro-turbine generators</div> </li> <li> <div>Micro-turbine generators – next generation</div> </li> <li> <div>Analysis of micro- and mini-turbine competitive and supply markets in Europe</div> </li> <li> <div>Future potential developments of micro-turbine<br /> generators – hybrid cycles and tri-generation</div> </li> <li> <div>Design reliability of micro-turbines</div> </li> <li> <div>Field experience with micro-turbines in Canada</div> </li> <li> <div>Design problems in micro-turbine generators</div> </li> <li> <div>Tip-leakage flow: A comparison between axial<br /> and radial turbines</div> </li> </ul>
