Synopsis

Based on many years of hands-on teaching experience involving students and practicing engineers alike, this text offers an ideal introduction to the design and performance of turbomachinery. Pumps, compressors, and turbines are described in detail, with emphasis on their key features and the flow equations relevant to each part of the machine. Experimental data are presented to aid understanding. Also covered are boundary layer and computational techniques for flow prediction, stability limits, and structural and modal analysis of blades and rotors. Test bed, laboratory, and workshop procedures for turbomachinery development together with instrumentation issues are also covered, drawing on the authors' wide experience. Fully illustrated and comprehensive in its treatment of turbomachinery types, Introduction to Turbomachinery provides the most up-to-date account of the subject for final-year undergraduates or new graduates beginning a study of turbomachinery, as well as a refresher and reference text for established practitioners.
