Industrial and marine gas turbines can compete effectively with the diesel engine only through the use
of very cheap fuels, such as residual oil or surplus gas. As a rule, gaseous fuels present no special
problems, but residual oils produc e a highly destructive ash and sometimes copious amounts of
