About the Book

This comprehensive textbook is unique in its design-focused approach to turbomachinery and gas turbines. It offers students of B.Tech/B.E. and M.Tech/M.E. Mechanical Engineering and practicing engineers methods for configuring these machines to perform with the highest possible efficiency. Examples and problems are based on the actual design of turbomachinery and turbines.

After an introductory chapter that outlines the goals of the book and provides definitions of terms and parts, the book offers a brief review of the basic principles of thermodynamics and efficiency definitions. The rest of the book is devoted to the analysis and design of real turbomachinery configurations and gas turbines, based on a consistent application of thermodynamic theory and a more empirical treatment of fIuid dynamics that relies on the extensive use of design charts. Topics include turbine power cycles, diffusion and diffusers, the analysis and design of three-dimensional free-stream flow, and combustion systems and combustion calculations. The second edition updates every chapter, adding material on subjects that include flow correlations, energy transfer in turbomachines, and three-dimensional design. A solutions manual is available for adopting instructors.

“A welcome return. Any book can present equations and algorithms; these authors desire to give us insight. They want to enable us to reason why certain choices are better than others and understand the consequences of our decisions. I have appreciated this book for a long time. It is not harder, but makes us smarter.”

Andrew R. Mech, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
