Fluid Mechanics And Thermodynamics Of Turbomachinery in SI/Metric units

The theory and technology of Turbomachinery continually evolves and while the basics do not change, research can lead to refinements in popular methods, while new data can emerge from industry. For example, research is currently being conducted in methods of computational fluid dynamics analysis, resulting in gradual improvements in those analytical methods and effecting major changes in the way research in Fluid Mechanics is conducted and presented. This new edition of Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery has applications for professionals and students in many subsets of the mechanical engineering discipline, including fluid mechanics, combustion and heat transfer; dynamics and vibrations, as well as structural mechanics and materials engineering. Brief reviews are included on many important aspects of Turbomachinery, giving pointers towards more advanced sources of information. Key Features: ·An important, long overdue new chapter on Wind Turbines, with a focus on blade aerodynamics, with useful worked examples ·Includes important material on axial flow compressors and pumps ·Provides example questions and answers throughout and an available Solutions Manual Related Titles: Fluid Mechanics, 3rd edition: Cohen & Kundu 0-12-178253-0.
