Fundamentals of Turbomachinery simplifies complex turbomachinery concepts, helping engineering students understand the basics step by step to prepare for more advanced studies and real-world applications. It provides the theoretical background needed to explain the principles underlying turbomachinery behavior with a strong emphasis on a solid mathematical foundation.Designed to guide readers through an understanding of machines in terms of increasing complexity, this textbook focuses on core principles instead of advanced approximations or computational tools. It covers dimensional analysis and pump systems before progressing into axial compressors, axial turbines, centrifugal compressors, and centripetal turbines. The chapters transition from theoretical and mathematical concepts to practical applications and feature numerous end-of-chapter problems and examples.This book is intended for senior undergraduate engineering students taking turbomachinery and fluid mechanics courses.Instructors will be able to utilize a Solutions Manual and Figure Slides for their course.
