Informationen zum Autor Dr. Dixon has published numerous scientific research papers in turbomachinery and lectured in turbomachinery at the University of Liverpool for nearly 40 years. For 25 of those years he was Chief Examiner in Mechanics for the Council of Engineering Institutions in the UK. Dr. Hall has been University Lecturer in turbomachinery at the University of Cambridge since 2005. His current research with the university’s Silent Aircraft Initiative has led to the development of radical new ideas for aircraft engine design. Prior to teaching, he worked at Rolls-Royce as a turbomachinery aerodynamicist. Klappentext Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery is the leading turbomachinery book due to its balanced coverage of theory and application. Starting with background principles in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, the authors go on to discuss axial flow turbines and compressors; centrifugal pumps, fans, and compressors; and radial flow gas turbines, hydraulic turbines, and wind turbines.In this new edition, more coverage is devoted to modern approaches to analysis and design, including CFD and FEA techniques. Long a core text in senior undergraduate and graduate level courses, this book is also useful to professional engineers in the aerospace, global power, oil and gas, and other industries.
