Abstract
The book is a course book on the functioning of turbomachines. The approach is analysis of all kinds of turbomachines with the same theoretical framework. The building up of theory is mixed in the sense that first derivations are general, but that elaboration of the theoretical concepts is done on a particular machine, however taking into account reuse on other machines or generalisation from constant-density to variable-density formulation. The book starts with two chapters on general concepts. Then follows the analysis of radial and axial fans, because these machines are the simplest ones. The next machines studied are steam turbines and pumps. Subsequent chapters are on hydraulic turbines, wind turbines, gas turbines for power and thrust, axial compressors, radial compressors, axial and radial turbines for gases. The order in which the different types of turbomachines are treated is chosen by the possibility of gradually building up theoretical concepts. For each of the machine types, a balance is sought between fundamental understanding and knowledge of practical aspects. The main goal is understanding of the functioning of the machine and the shaping of the components. The volume of text is limited to what can be absorbed in a course of 9 to 12 ETC study points by a mechanical engineering student with basic knowledge of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. An effort of 9 ETC study points is possible by leaving out some less essential topics and some exercises.
