Compressor Performance will be appreciated as a handy reference book by compressor design engineers and compressor maintenance engineers as well as engineering students. As its title suggest, this book covers the full spectrum of information needed for an individual to select, operate, test and maintain axial or centrifugal compressors.

This book includes everything necessary to the mechanical engineer and student. There is a basic overview of aerodynamic theory, a troubleshooting guide, and numerous example problems. The example problems, covering everything from gas properties to flow meter calculations, will provide easy analysis of compressor performance. This is the ideal reference on the topic of compressor performance.
