Turbomachinery Concepts, Applications, and Design

Turbomachinery Concepts, Applications, and Design is an introductory turbomachinery textbook aimed at seniors and first year graduate students, giving balanced treatment of both the concepts and design aspects of turbomachinery, based on sound analysis and a strong theoretical foundation. The text has three sections, Basic Concepts, Incompressible Fluid Machines; and Compressible Fluid Machines. Emphasis is on straightforward presentation of key concepts and applications, with numerous examples and problems that clearly link theory and practice over a wide range of engineering areas. Problem solutions and figure slides are available for instructors adopting the text for their classes.

This book is an outgrowth of several years of teaching an undergraduate course on turbomachinery at the University of Portland. It provides an introduction to the subject and is suitable as a single-semester course for seniors and first-year graduate students in disciplines such as mechanical, aerospace, petroleum, and chemical engineering. The prerequisites for the course are one semester in each of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics

The scope of the book has been defined by two objectives. The first is to provide a unified treatment of the subject of the common forms of a turbomachine while covering the basic fluid mechanics and thermodynamics with a detailed discussion of the governing equations. The second objective is to apply the material to various machines in sufficient detail so that the underlying performance and design factors can be appreciated. With these objectives in mind, topics such as turbine blade cooling, rotor vibrations, computational fluid dynamics, and analysis of the flow, have been omitted as these are best dealt with in specialized courses at graduate level.
