Description
Compressor Performance is a reference book and CD-ROM for compressor design engineers and compressor maintenance engineers, as well as
engineering students.
The book covers the full spectrum of information needed for an individual to select, operate, test and maintain
axial or centrifugal compressors. It includes basic aerodynamic theory to provide the user with the "how's" and "why's" of compressor
design.
Maintenance engineers will especially appreciate the troubleshooting guidelines offered.
Includes many example problems
and reference data such as gas properties and flow meter calculations to enable easy analysis of compressor performance in practice.
Includes companion CD with computer programs.
M. Theodore Gresh has been with the Elliot Company in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, since
1975, initially working on the mechanical and aerodynamic design and application of centrifugal compressors.
Audience
Practising mechanical, plant and maintenance engineers and industrial designers. Academic study and library reference.
