A Treatise on Turbomachines

This book has been written to serve as a textbook for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of indian universities. This will also serve as a guide for design of simple machines. All classes of turbomachines have been included in an unified approach in the initial chapter so that changing the direction of rotation would imply switching over from a pump or compressor to a turbine. The book has been profusely illustrated to give the reader a clear understanding of the flow through a turbomachine. Charts in chapter 4 & 8 are drawn to scale and can be used for solving design problems. A section has been devoted to testing and could come in handy even for engineers in the field. Sections on supersonic blading for compressors and turbines are also added. Questions and problems with solution have been appended at the end of every chapter and should be useful from the student's point of view.
