Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery

Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery, Eighth Edition is the leading turbomachinery book with its balanced coverage of theory and application. Starting with background principles in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, this updated edition goes on to discuss axial flow turbines and compressors, centrifugal pumps, fans, and compressors, and radial flow gas turbines, hydraulic turbines, and wind turbines. Used as a core text in senior undergraduate and graduate level courses, this book will also appeal to professional engineers in the aerospace, global power, oil & gas, and other industries who are involved in the design and operation of turbomachines. - Provides the most comprehensive coverage of turbomachinery fundamentals of any text in the field - Examines, through the laws of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, the means by which energy transfer is achieved in the chief types of turbomachines, together with the differing behavior of individual types in operation - Discusses important aspects concerning the criteria of blade selection and blade manufacture, control methods for regulating power output and rotor speed, and performance testing - Includes coverage of public and environmental issues, which are becoming increasingly important as they can affect the development of wind turbines - Online teaching ancillaries include a fully updated solutions manual and image bank

Handbook of Fluid Dynamics

This book provides professionals in the field of fluid dynamics with a comprehensive guide and resource. The book balances three traditional areas of fluid mechanics - theoretical, computational, and experimental - and expounds on basic science and engineering techniques. Each chapter introduces a topic, discusses the primary issues related to this subject, outlines approaches taken by experts, and supplies references for further information. Topics discussed include: basic engineering fluid dynamics classical fluid dynamics turbulence modeling reacting flows multiphase flows flow and porous media high Reynolds number asymptotic theories finite difference method finite volume method finite element method spectral element methods for incompressible flows experimental methods, such as hot-wire anemometry, laser-Doppler velocimetry, and flow visualization applications, such as axial-flow compressor and fan aerodynamics, turbomachinery, airfoils and wings, atmospheric flows, and mesoscale oceanic flows The text enables experts in particular areas to become familiar with useful information from outside their specialization, providing a broad reference for the significant areas within fluid dynamics.
