Turton R.K. Principles of Turbomachinery

Second Edition. — London, Glasgow, Weinheirn, New York, Tokyo, Melbourne, Madras, London: Chapman & Hall, 1995. 277 p. — ISBN: 0-412-60210-5.Pumps, fans, compressors and turbines are essential components in all engineering complexes. This book explains the basic fluid mechanics and thermodynamics underlying their design in a clear and uncomplicated way, with many examples and worked exercises. A wealth of problems and solutions are also included in the book to assist students.Preface to the secotzd editiorz
