Description
The fifth edition of this text will continue to be of use to engineers in industry and technological establishments, especially as brief
reviews are included on many important aspects of Turbomachinery, giving pointers towards more advanced sources of information. For
those looking towards the wider reaches of the subject area, very useful additional reading is referenced in the bibliography. The subject
of Turbomachinery is in continual review, and while the basics do not change, research can lead to refinements in popular methods, and
new data can emerge.
This book has applications for professionals and students in many subsets of the mechanical engineering discipline,
with carryover into thermal sciences; which include fluid mechanics, combustion and heat transfer; dynamics and vibrations, as well as
structural mechanics and materials engineering.
Audience
Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical, civil, automotive and aeronautical engineering; professional mechanical, civil, automotive, aeronautical, and control engineers
