Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer of Turbomachinery

The book provides a thorough step--by--step presentation of the computational models involved which allows the reader to easily construct a flow chart from which to operate. A unique feature to this book is that the author critically reviews all of the existing numerical models highlighting both advantages and drawbacks of each.

Turbomachinery theory, performance, and analysis made accessible with a new, unified approach For the first time in nearly three decades, here is a completely up-to-date and unified approach to turbomachinery fluid dynamics and aerothermodynamics. Combining the latest advances, methods, and approaches in the field, Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer of Turbomachinery features: The most comprehensive and complete coverage of the fluid dynamics and aerothermodynamics of turbomachinery to dateA spotlight on the fluid dynamic aspects of flows and the thermodynamic considerations for turbomachinery (rather than the structural or material aspects)A detailed, step-by-step presentation of the analytical and computational models involved, which allows the reader to easily construct a flowchart from which to operateCritical reviews of all the existing analytical and numerical models, highlighting the advantages and drawbacks of eachComprehensive coverage of turbine cooling and heat transfer, a unique feature for a book on turbomachineryAn appendix of basic computation techniques, numerous tables, and listings of common terminology, abbreviations, and nomenclature Broad in scope, yet concise, and drawing on the author's teaching experience and research projects for government and industry, Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer of Turbomachinery explains and simplifies an increasingly complex field. It is an invaluable resource for undergraduate and graduate students in aerospace and mechanical engineering specializing in turbomachinery, for research and design engineers, and for all professionals who are—or wish to be—at the cutting edge of this technology.
