A Monthly Publication Schedule for Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power (JEGTP)

Abstract

A happy new year to all of you! I am pleased to announce that effective 1 January 2010, JEGTP will be published monthly. This is made possible because JEGTP continues to receive a large number of outstanding papers from all over the world in the field of gas turbines, nuclear power, internal combustion engines, and fossil energy. Strong synergies exist among these seemingly diverse fields. For example, nuclear reactor power generation cycles are beginning to employ gas turbines operating with novel working fluids such as helium. Also, advances in gas turbine radial blade designs, secondary flow controls, aerodynamic flutter, rotor dynamics, bearing technology, and thermal barrier coatings are readily finding applications in tomorrow's steam turbine and turbo generator designs. JEGTP has successfully integrated these papers into an “energy and power” journal for which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. To celebrate this success, JEGTP has a new front cover, more journal resources, and ASME has doubled the number of published issues. All these improvements represent a “win-win” situation for authors, readers, subscribers, and other journal stakeholders.
