Principles of Turbomachinery /

Principles of Turbomachinery / by R.K. Turton.

This text outlines the fluid and thermodynamic principles that apply to all classes of turbomachines, and the material has been presented in a unified way. The approach has been used with successive groups of final year mechanical engineering students, who have helped with the development of the ide...
