Inhaltsangabe

Turbo Machines Design and Control is designed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students of mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering. It covers the design aspects of thermal power plant, jets engines, and wind mills; the aerodynamic principles of turbomachines; velocity diagrams and their applications in the design of radial and axial flow machines; and the thermodynamic analysis of the turbomachines. A chapter on units and dimensions and compressible fluid flow is also included.

Key features:

  • Units, dimensions and dimensional analysis.
  • Foundations on compressible fluid flow.
  • Aerodynamic analysis of body in fluid flow.
  • Power equations of turbomachines.
  • Velocity diagrams and their applications in radial and axial flow machine design.
  • Fundamentals of classical control theory as applied to turbomachines.
  • Application of modern control theory in jet engine control.
  • Advance topics, such as air breathing engines, rockets, SCRAM jets and the mechanics of flying in birds and insects.
