Turbomachinery

Recent advances in the design of turbomachinery included SI units used commensurate with old engineering definitions Material presented to serve as text to engineering students The book deals with various compressible flow turbomachines like steam, gas and hydraulic turbines. Common features together with principles involved of these turbines are discussed. A section deals with dimensional analysis and its applications to turbomachinery. Energy exchange in turbomachines has been dealt with the help of Euler equation. The design principles of the Pelton wheel, Francis turbine and the Kaplan turbine have been presented together with centrifugal and axial flow pumps. The fact that turbomachines can transmit power somewhat like gear trains has been presented in chapter on hydraulic transmissions. The material presented will be a useful text on turbomachines for students of the mechanical engineering curriculum.New Academic Science is a newly established Science, Technical and Medical publisher.
