Centrifugal Compressor Design and Performance. This item is unavailable.Centrifugal Compressor Design and Performance

This book provides a state-of-the-art review of the technology base of compressors and is a practical guide for designers. The author has been a major contributor to the research and development of centrifugal compressors for many years and has been responsible for a number of significant technological advances, such as the two-zone model of impeller flow, and the TEIS (two-elements-in-series) model of diffusion. Design examples from the author's vast experience are used extensively.

Dr. Japikse received his master’s and doctoral degrees at Purdue University. He founded Concepts ETI in 1980 and guided the company as president until 2000 when he led the acquisition of NREC's consulting and engineering software business. He currently serves as Concepts NREC's chairman of the board. He has been responsible for many activities in centrifugal pump design, consulting, and research, and has developed a number of innovative design techniques. Dr. Japikse has also published extensively and teaches regularly to engineers. He has received many awards including the James Harry Potter Gold Medal from ASME for “…innovative, pioneering contributions in the field of thermodynamics as applied to turbomachinery design.” He is a Fellow in the ASME and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
