An accessible and up-to-date discussion of foundational turbomachine technology
In the newly revised second edition of Fundamentals of Turbomachinery: Theory and Applications, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an accessible introduction to turbomachinery, taking readers from a foundational understanding of the subject to application-ready knowledge.
The book explores basic and advanced turbomachinery technologies, including fans, blowers, and compressors, as well as gas turbines, steam turbines, hydro turbines, wind turbines, and hybrid power generation, among others. The book also covers emerging technologies in the field, such as simulation technologies, computer-assisted design, security issues, and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
Readers will also find:
- A straightforward introduction to turbomachinery that equips students to select turbomachines in practice confidently
- Comprehensive explorations of hybrid power generation, including coverage of contemporary energy capture and storage technology
- Practical discussions of hydroelectric turbines, including Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan turbines
- Complete treatments of radial, mixed-flow, and axial flow pumps and compressors
Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in turbomachinery, Fundamentals of Turbomachinery: Theory and Applications will also benefit technical engineers, practicing researchers, and students at technical and junior colleges.
