MODERN MARINE STEAM AND GAS TURBINES FOR MERCHANT SHIPS

These examples cover a wide field of application and are thought to demonstrate that the merging of steam and gas turbine technologies in a fully integrated marine system is a significant step forward in marine propulsion. This step is immediately available, without requiring any abstruse research, except possibly in the matter of improving residual fuel burning. A continuing progress in gas turbine materials will inevitably lead to increases in firing temperatures and frame outputs, and further reductions in specific fuel consumption.
