DESIGN OF HYDRODYNAMIC MACHINES PUMPS AND HYDRO TURBINES (HB 2022) Hardcover

Design of Hydrodynamic Machines offers a comprehensive yet concise theoretical foundation on the connection between fluid dynamics and geometry. It explores the key types of turbomachinery used in power generation, industrial processes, utilities, and the oil and gas sector. The book provides guidance on the hydraulic design of various turbomachinery components, such as impellers, diffusers, volute casings, and inlets and outlets. It discusses how to perform performance testing and assess the performance parameters of these components. Additionally, it covers aspects of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in turbomachinery. With this knowledge, readers will be able to conduct hydraulic designs for critical turbomachinery parts using commercially available software. Aimed at final-year undergraduates and postgraduates in mechanical, civil, and aeronautical engineering, the book will also be valuable for professionals involved in the hydraulic design, analysis, and testing of turbomachinery.
