Description
Turbomachinery is a challenging and diverse field, with 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. Originally published more than 40 years ago,
Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery
is the leading turbomachinery textbook. Used as a core text in senior undergraduate and graduate level courses this book will also appeal
to professional engineers in the aerospace, global power, oil & gas and other industries who are involved in the design and operation
of turbomachines. For this new edition, author S. Larry Dixon is joined by Cesare Hall from the University of Cambridge, whose diverse
background of teaching, research and work experience in the area of turbomachines is well suited to the task of reorganizing and updating
this classic text.
