About the Book

This book covers the basic principles of turbomachinery and provides a firm foundation to understand the basic concepts with absolute clarity. It provides simple, concise and clear ideas about turbomachines as well as the processes taking place in those machines in a systematic manner. The contents of the book have been designed keeping in mind the requirements of undergraduate and postgraduate students of Mechanical Engineering. The book combines theory and applications to show how gas turbines, pumps and compressors function. It allows a smooth transition from the study of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer to the subject of turbomachinery for students.

· Introduction to Turbomachinery
· Hydraulic Turbines
· Steam Turbines
· Centrifugal Pumps
· Centrifugal Compressors
· Axial Flow Compressors
