| Summary: | This thesis document was issued under the authority of another institution, not NPS. At the time it was written, a copy was added to the NPS Library collection for reasons not now known. It has been included in the digital archive for its historical value to NPS. Not believed to be a CIVINS (Civilian Institutions) title. === During the course of the study at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the gas turbine field, one
of the major limitations of gas turbine application was discussed very frequently. That limitation was
the fact that the gas turbine has a very limited range of operation due to the very small margin between the gross work of the turbine and the gross work of the compressor. This margin, or net work, increases as turbine inlet temperatures increase, but the maximum temperatures at the turbine inlet are limited by available materials.
