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.
The story of the world's largest pearl is a mix of legend, history,
and human tragedy that spans the Pacific from a pre-war paradise in
the Philippines, through hell on the Bataan Death March during
World War II, to prejudice and betrayal in America. Take the
journey with a Filipino soldier, Timoteo Matito, and an American
geologist, Wilbur Cobb, as they battle greedy investors and a curse
from ancient China. You'll discover the dark heart of mankind and
witness a brilliant wonder of nature few people have ever seen.
Jack Sabre has always been a good cop, a Denver detective who has
every reason to be the "nicest guy on the force." His wife, Maria,
is the love of his life. She regularly volunteers at a local
mission for the homeless, but her charity work brings her into
contact with greedy men on the dark side of the city, and she ends
up dead. Murdered. Brutally. But who killed her and why? Jack
thinks he knows, and with the department dragging its feet on the
investigation, he goes after the killer himself, earning him the
nickname "Black Jack." But the line between justice and revenge is
thin and brittle, and when crossing that line backfires on Jack,
people get killed, both good people and bad.

Philip looks back at his life so far, a long and complicated
journey. First there was his conversion at an evangelical crusade,
followed by a critical retracing of the origins of Christianity and
then his reception into the Catholic Church, with whose present
condition he is deeply unhappy. At the same time there was his
sometimes comic education by the women in his life: Faith, who
rejected him as a lover but remained his friend, Rachel, who became
his wife, and Amanda, his therapist. These personal events, he
recalls, took place alongside more public events in the life of the
Anglican and Catholic Churches, including the Second Vatican
Council, the debates over the ordination of women and the problem
of the sexual abuse of children by priests, all of which impinged
on his own life. Both Philip and Faith and the churches to which
they belong are forced to confront the need to change, to adapt to
new circumstances, in order to survive. Terry Wright has written
ten academic books exploring different aspects of literature and
theology. This is his second novel, after The Browning Papers.
