Produktinformationen zu „Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery “
Turbomachinery is a challenging and diverse field that draws on most of the disciplines in mechanical engineering, and includes everything from classic Dutch windmills to the space shuttle's main engine turbo pumps. It's the wind turbines that are in the forefront of the search for alternative energy, the jet engines that power airliners across the country and the blower in your air conditioning system. Originally published more than 40 years ago, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery is the world's leading turbomachinery textbook. For the new 6e, author Larry Dixon is joined by Dr. Cesare Hall from the University of Cambridge, whose unique and diverse background of teaching, research and work experience in the area of turbomachines is well suited to the task of reorganizing and updating this classic text.
Klappentext zu „Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery “
Turbomachinery is a challenging and diverse field, with applications for professionals and students in many subsets of the mechanical engineering discipline, including fluid mechanics, combustion and heat transfer, dynamics and vibrations, as well as structural mechanics and materials engineering. Originally published more than 40 years ago, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery is the leading turbomachinery textbook. Used as a core text in senior undergraduate and graduate level courses this book will also appeal to professional engineers in the aerospace, global power, oil & gas and other industries who are involved in the design and operation of turbomachines. For this new edition, author S. Larry Dixon is joined by Cesare Hall from the University of Cambridge, whose diverse background of teaching, research and work experience in the area of turbomachines is well suited to the task of reorganizing and updating this classic text.Provides the most comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of turbomachinery of any text in the field
Content has been reorganized to more closely match how instructors currently teach the course, with coverage of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics moved to the front of the book
Includes new design studies of several turbomachines, applying the theories developed in the book

Autoren-Porträt von Sydney L. Dixon
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.

Rezension zu „Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery “
"This enduring turbomachinery textbook has been around since 1966 and is entering its sixth edition this year. Changes from the previous edition reflect advances in the field. The authors tell us in the preface, for example, that the text puts more emphasis on the effects of compressibility, reflecting "advances in the use of higher flow and blade speeds in turbomachinery." - review in Mechanical Engineering
