Turbo Machines Design and Control

Turbo Machines Design and Control is designed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students of mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering. It covers the design aspects of thermal power plant, jets engines, and wind mills; the aerodynamic principles of turbomachines; velocity diagrams and their applications in the design of radial and axial flow machines; and the thermodynamic analysis of the turbomachines. A chapter on units and dimensions and compressible fluid flow is also included. Key features: Units, dimensions and dimensional analysis. Foundations on compressible fluid flow. Aerodynamic analysis of body in fluid flow. Power equations of turbomachines. Velocity diagrams and their applications in radial and axial flow machine design. Fundamentals of classical control theory as applied to turbomachines. Application of modern control theory in jet engine control. Advance topics, such as air breathing engines, rockets, SCRAM jets and the mechanics of flying in birds and insects.

Steps to Career

For the longest time, parents and children both, knew and believed that Medicine, Engineering, Management and Law were the only true 'careers' which could provide job security and steady paycheques. However, youngsters today couldn't have been more open to trying out offbeat careers. They are bold, patient, resilient and aware of the fact that a career that is in line with their interests has a higher chance of being satisfying. An equal, or probably more, parents are sceptical about these unconventional careers and would rather have their children go in for 'tried and tested' jobs. With 'Steps to Career', the author has attempted to dilute the dilemma of such children and their parents, providing them a wealth of information on the available conventional and unconventional career options, to help the children decide the right career for them, and the process.
