Dr. David Gordon Wilson has written extensively about heat exchangers and turbomachinery. These two books coauthored by Dr. Wilson thoroughly cover the design and operation of regenerator heat exchangers and gas turbines.

The Design of High-Efficiency Turbomachinery and Gas Turbines

In addition to a lengthy section describing the theory behind regenerator design, this text on gas-turbine design covers open systems and addresses a wide range of topics that include:

• Cycle thermodynamics
• Cycles that include the principal aircraft-engine types
• Energy transfer in turbomachines
• Three-dimensional design
• The steady-flow energy equation
• Gibbs' equation
• Design of axial-flow turbines and compressors, radial-flow machines, and heat exchangers.

Gas Turbine Regenerators

Coauthored by Dr. Wilson, this text offers insight into designing regenerators to maximize the performance of gas turbines. This topic of increasing importance also focuses on the periodic-flow generator for gas-turbine applications.
