Fluid Machinery Application, Selection, and Design

Fluid Machinery Application, Selection, 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, Fluid Machinery: Application, Selection, and Design, 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.” “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.”–Jacket.

The purpose of this book is to provide a fairly broad treatment of the fluid mechanics of turbomachinery. Emphasis is placed on the more utilitarian equipment, such as compressors, blowers, fans, and pumps, that will be encountered by most mechanical engineers as they pursue careers in industry. This emphasis is intended to allow the text to serve as a useful reference or review book for the practicing engineer.
