This book describes the analysis and behavior of internal flows encountered in propulsion systems, fluid machinery (compressors, turbines, and pumps) and ducts (diffusers, nozzles and combustion chambers). The focus is on phenomena that are important in setting the performance of a broad range of fluid devices.
The authors show that even for complex processes one can learn a great deal about the behavior of such devices from a clear understanding and rigorous use of basic principles. Throughout the book they illustrate theoretical principles by reference to technological applications. The strong emphasis on fundamentals, however, means that the ideas presented can be applied beyond internal flow to other types of fluid motion.
The book equips students and practising engineers with a range of analytical tools, which offer enhanced interpretation and application of both experimental measurements and the computational procedures that characterize modern fluids engineering.
