DESCRIPTION:
Excellent coverage of the subject A Customer This is the most thorough book on the subject I have ever seen. A very broad wealth of material is included. Contrary to what one sees in books on such specialized subjects, this one goes into the details. A must for compressor designers.
The text starts with general ideas, and then moves through the simple aspects of axial compressors to the more advanced three-dimensional ideas. Starting from first principles, this book looks at the aerodynamic behavior of axial and radial compressors. This is complemented by a supplementary bibliography of important new papers.. Considerable effort is taken to explain the cause of observed behavior, rather than to provide methods or recipes to be followed. The book is unique in the approach and treatment. The emphasis is on physically based understanding, and these ideas and this approach do not age. Radial compressors are treated in two sections: impellers and diffusers. For the 2004 reprint edition there is a new introduction summarizing major developments since the first publication. Noise and aeroelasticity are considered in one chapter, and another chapter looks at measurement and computational techniques
