"Published nearly a decade ago, Fluid Machinery: Performance, Analysis, and Design quickly became popular with students, professors, and professionals because of its comprehensive and comprehensible introduction to the fluid mechanics of turbomachinery. Renamed to reflect its wider scope and reorganized content, Fluid Machinery: Application, Selection, and Design, Second Edition provides a more logical flow ofinformation that will enhance understanding. In particular, it presents a consistent notation within and across chapters, updating material when appropriate." "This book promotes a pragmatic approach to turbomachinery application and design, examining a realistic array of difficulties and conflicting requirements. The authors use examples from a broad range of industrial applications to illustrate the generality of the basic design approach and the common ground of seemingly diverse areas of application."--Jacket.Abstract: Provides a comprehensive introduction to the fluid mechanics of turbomachinery. By focusing on the preliminary design and selection of equipment to meet performance specifications, this book coverssuch topics as gas and hydraulic turbines as well as industrial equipment such as pumps and fans.
