Published nearly a decade ago, Fluid Machinery: Performance,
Analysis, and Design quickly became popular with students,
professors, and professionals because of its comprehensive and
comprehensible introduction to the fluid mechanics of
turbomachinery. Renamed to reflect its wider scope and reorganized
content, this second edition provides a more logical flow of
information that will enhance understanding. In particular, it
presents a consistent notation within and across chapters, updating
material when appropriate. Although the authors do account for the
astounding growth in the field of computational fluid dynamics that
has occurred since publication of the first edition, this text
emphasizes traditional "one-dimensional" layout and points the way
toward using CFD for turbomachinery design and analysis.
Presents Extensive Examples and Design Exercises to Illustrate
Performance Parameters and Machine Geometry
By focusing on the preliminary design and selection of equipment
to meet performance specifications, the authors promote a basic yet
thorough understanding of the subject. They cover topics including
gas and hydraulic turbines and equipment that is widely used in the
industry, such as compressors, blowers, fans, and pumps.
This book promotes a pragmatic approach to turbomachinery
application and design, examining a realistic array of difficulties
and conflicting requirements. The authors use examples from a broad
range of industrial applications to illustrate the generality of
the basic design approach and the common ground of seemingly
diverse areas of application.
With a variety of illustrations, examples, and exercises that
emphasize real-world industrial applications, this book not only
prepares students to face industrial applications with confidence,
but also supplies professionals with a compact and easy-to-use
reference.
