Reseña del libro "Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer of Turbomachinery (en Inglés)"
Over the past three decades, information in the aerospace andmechanical engineering fields in general and turbomachinery inparticular has grown at an exponential rate. Fluid Dynamics andHeat Transfer of Turbomachinery is the first book, in one completevolume, to bring together the modern approaches and advances in thefield, providing the most up-to-date, unified treatment availableon basic principles, physical aspects of the aerothermal field,analysis, performance, theory, and computation of turbomachineryflow and heat transfer. Presenting a unified approach to turbomachinery fluid dynamicsand aerothermodynamics, the book concentrates on the fluid dynamicaspects of flows and thermodynamic considerations rather than onthose related to materials, structure, or mechanical aspects. Itcovers the latest material and all types of turbomachinery used inmodern-day aircraft, automotive, marine, spacecraft, power, andindustrial applications; and there is an entire chapter devoted tomodern approaches on computation of turbomachinery flow. Anadditional chapter on turbine cooling and heat transfer is uniquefor a turbomachinery book.The author has undertaken a systematic approach, through morethan three hundred illustrations, in developing the knowledge base.He uses analysis and data correlation in his discussion of mostrecent developments in this area, drawn from over nine hundredreferences and from research projects carried out by variousorganizations in the United States and abroad.This book is extremely useful for anyone involved in theanalysis, design, and testing of turbomachinery. For students, itcan be used as a two-semester course of senior undergraduate orgraduate study: the first semester dealing with the basicprinciples and analysis of turbomachinery, the second exploringthree-dimensional viscid flows, computation, and heat transfer.Many sections are quite general and applicable to other areas influid dynamics and heat transfer. The book can also be used as aself-study guide to those who want to acquire this knowledge.The ordered, meticulous, and unified approach of Fluid Dynamicsand Heat Transfer of Turbomachinery should make the specializationof turbomachinery in aerospace and mechanical engineering much moreaccessible to students and professionals alike, in universities,industry, and government.Turbomachinery theory, performance, and analysis made accessiblewith a new, unified approachFor the first time in nearly three decades, here is a completelyup-to-date and unified approach to turbomachinery fluid dynamicsand aerothermodynamics. Combining the latest advances, methods, andapproaches in the field, Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer ofTurbomachinery features:The most comprehensive and complete coverage of the fluiddynamics and aerothermodynamics of turbomachinery to dateA spotlight on the fluid dynamic aspects of flows and thethermodynamic considerations for turbomachinery (rather than thestructural or material aspects)A detailed, step-by-step presentation of the analytical andcomputational models involved, which allows the reader to easilyconstruct a flowchart from which to operateCritical reviews of all the existing analytical and numericalmodels, highlighting the advantages and drawbacks of eachComprehensive coverage of turbine cooling and heat transfer, aunique feature for a book on turbomachineryAn appendix of basic computation techniques, numerous tables,and listings of common terminology, abbreviations, andnomenclatureBroad in scope, yet concise, and drawing on the author'steaching experience and research projects for government andindustry, Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer of Turbomachineryexplains and simplifies an increasingly complex field. It is aninvaluable resource for undergraduate and graduate students inaerospace and mechanical engineering specializing inturbomachinery, for research and design engineers, and for allprofessionals who are—or wish to be—at the cutting edgeof this technology.
