The second edition of a comprehensive textbook that introduces
turbomachinery and gas turbines through design methods and
examples. This comprehensive textbook is unique in its
design-focused approach to turbomachinery and gas turbines. It
offers students and practicing engineers methods for configuring
these machines to perform with the highest possible efficiency.
Examples and problems are based on the actual design of
turbomachinery and turbines. After an introductory chapter that
outlines the goals of the book and provides definitions of terms
and parts, the book offers a brief review of the basic principles
of thermodynamics and efficiency definitions. The rest of the book
is devoted to the analysis and design of real turbomachinery
configurations and gas turbines, based on a consistent application
of thermodynamic theory and a more empirical treatment of fluid
dynamics that relies on the extensive use of design charts. Topics
include turbine power cycles, diffusion and diffusers, the analysis
and design of three-dimensional free-stream flow, and combustion
systems and combustion calculations. The second edition updates
every chapter, adding material on subjects that include flow
correlations, energy transfer in turbomachines, and
three-dimensional design. A solutions manual is available for
instructors. This new MIT Press edition makes a popular text
available again, with corrections and some updates, to a wide
audience of students, professors, and professionals.
