Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery

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 7th edition. Zusammenfassung Starting with background principles in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics! this title discusses axial flow turbines and compressors! centrifugal pumps! fans! and compressors! and radial flow gas turbines! hydraulic turbines! and wind turbines.
