Additional Accessibility Information
-
All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
-
The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
-
For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
-
Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
-
Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.

Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery, Eighth Edition is the leading turbomachinery book with its balanced coverage of theory and application. Starting with background principles in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, this updated edition goes on to discuss axial flow turbines and compressors, centrifugal pumps, fans, and compressors, and radial flow gas turbines, hydraulic turbines, and wind turbines. Used as a core text in senior undergraduate and graduate level courses, this book will also appeal to professional engineers in the aerospace, global power, oil & gas, and other industries who are involved in the design and operation of turbomachines.
Key Features
- Provides the most comprehensive coverage of turbomachinery fundamentals of any text in the field
- Examines, through the laws of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, the means by which energy transfer is achieved in the chief types of turbomachines, together with the differing behavior of individual types in operation
- Discusses important aspects concerning the criteria of blade selection and blade manufacture, control methods for regulating power output and rotor speed, and performance testing
- Includes coverage of public and environmental issues, which are becoming increasingly important as they can affect the development of wind turbines
- Online teaching ancillaries include a fully updated solutions manual and image bank
