Description
The theory and technology of Turbomachinery continually evolves and while the basics do not change, research can lead to refinements in
popular methods, while new data can emerge from industry. For example, research is currently being conducted in methods of computational
fluid dynamics analysis, resulting in gradual improvements in those analytical methods and effecting major changes in the way research
in Fluid Mechanics is conducted and presented.
This new edition of Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery has applications
for professionals and students in many subsets of the mechanical engineering discipline, including fluid mechanics, combustion and heat
transfer; dynamics and vibrations, as well as structural mechanics and materials engineering. Brief reviews are included on many important
aspects of Turbomachinery, giving pointers towards more advanced sources of information.
Audience
Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical, civil, automotive and aeronautical engineering; professional mechanical, civil, automotive, aeronautical, and control engineers
