Product Description
This volume---originally published in the Soviet Union---is intended as a text-book for the students of technical colleges as well as engineers and designers specialising in turbine building. Basic theoretical concepts of the thermodynamic processes of stationary steam turbines have been dealt with in detail. Variable load operation of these turbines has also been considered. The reader will find here enough material concerning the basic concepts of gas dynamics as applied to steam turbines as well as design and construct ion of steam turbines and their details with regard to mechanical strength. Considerable space has been devoted to the description of turbines of various manufacture. The book contains a profusion of tables, diagrams and illustrations which, it is hoped, would enable the reader to acquire a better understanding of the theory and design of steam turbines.

Steam Turbines by P. Shlyakhin, 2006-11-09
This book is a reprint of a Russian book, so it describes mainly Russian practises in designing and building steam turbines. The book seems to have been written about 1960-1970. All units used are Metric.
The first chapters describe the theoretical principles and thermodynamics of turbines. The chapter on energy losses and blades is especially usefull for the designer, but this information can also be found in older publications, e.g. Stodola and Church.
An extensive coverage is given of all kinds of turbines: action, reaction, single stage, multistage and even Ljungstrom turbines.
The chapters concerning construction details are very usefull for the designer.
The book is ample illustrated with drawings and diagrams, mostly of a very good quality.
The index however is small and there is no bibliography.
The book is a paperback and has 240 pages.

Good book, the title covers what u will see inside, 2005-08-04
I have an old edition of this book (very old, back to 60s I think, since no year provided). The list of contents include:
I. Theory and design of steam turbines
1.1. Intro
1.2. Flow of steam through a turbine stage
1.3. Concept from gas dynamics
1.4. Determination of nozzle and blade
1.5. Energy losses
1.6. Single stage turbines
1.7. Multistage turbine
1.8. Turbine performance at varying load
1.9. Governor and governor gears
1.10 Contructional detail of multistage condensing turbines
1.11 back pressure and mixed pressure turb.
II. Design and Construction of Steam Turbine Component
2.1. Constructon of cylinder and their detail
2.2 Contruction turbine rotors and their comp.
Overall it gives the good reference. I don't give 5 stars since:
1. I don't have the latest edition, so I don't know what kind of update that they made.
2. I have don't have any time to compare with other books with same topic, the closest one I got is about turbomachinary.
