The 6th edition of Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery gives the readers in depth knowledge of the diverse applications of Turbomachinery. Summary Of The Book Turbomachinery is the diverse field of mechanical engineering that deals with machines that transfers energy between the rotor and fluids and includes both compressors and turbines. The challenging field of Turbomachinery includes combustion, fluid mechanics, dynamics, vibrations, heat transfer, and structural mechanics. Fluid Mechanics And Thermodynamics Of Turbomachinery is a leading and classic textbook in the field of Turbomachinery. The book is divided into 10 chapters. It covers the Basic Principles, the Dimensional Analysis: Similitude, Axial-flow Turbines: Mean-line Analysis and Design, Two-dimensional Cascades, Axial-flow Compressors and Ducted Fans, Fans and Compressors. It also offers coverage on topics like Three-dimensional Flows in Axial Turbomachines, Radial Flow Gas Turbines, Centrifugal Pumps, Hydraulic Turbines and Wind Turbines. In a comprehensive manner the author has covered all the fundamentals of Turbomachinery in the field. Fluid mechanics and Thermodynamics is covered at the beginning of the book. The book is inclusive of updated figures that aid in better understanding of the topics. The book also has new examples and exercises at the end of the book. It includes new design studies and photos that apply the theories of the book. Originally published more than 4 decades ago, this updated edition was published in the year 2011. The book is used as the main textbook in graduate and senior level courses. It is also helpful for the professional engineers in the fields of global power, aerospace and other industries involved in the application and design of turbomachinery. About The Authors S. L.
