Download or read book Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery written by S. Larry Dixon and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery is the leading turbomachinery book due to its balanced coverage of theory and application. Starting with background principles in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, the authors go on to discuss axial flow turbines and compressors, centrifugal pumps, fans, and compressors, and radial flow gas turbines, hydraulic turbines, and wind turbines. In this new edition,more coverage is devoted to modern approaches to analysis and design, including CFD and FEA techniques. Used as a core text in senior undergraduate and graduate level courses this book will also appeal to professional engineers in the aerospace, global power, oil & gas and other industries who are involved in the design and operation of turbomachines. - More coverage of a variety of types of turbomachinery, including centrifugal pumps and gas turbines - Addition of numerical and computational tools, including more discussion of CFD and FEA techniques to reflect modern practice in the area - More end of chapter exercises and in-chapter worked examples

This book was released on 2006-07-31 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical and aerospace engineering taking a course commonly called Principles of Turbomachinery or Aerospace Propulsion. The book begins with a review of basic thermodynamics and fluid mechanics principles to motive their application to aerothermodynamics and real-life design issues. This approach is ideal for the reader who will face practical situations and design decisions in the gas turbine industry. The text is fully supported by over 200 figures, numerous examples, and homework problems.

This book was released on 1963 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theing of radial flow gas turbine fluid dynamics and heat transfer behavior is investi gated. A test facility was constructed for the modeling of turbine flows. Several unconven tional experimental techniques were developed for use in the facility. A simple model of a radial flow gas turbine was analyzed and tested. The fluid dynamics and heat transfer behavior of a single radially inward flow of air over a shrouded rotating disk was experimentally deter mined. The fluid dynamics behavior is presented as a series of graphs detailing the velocity profiles. The heat transfer is correlated over the operating range of radial flow gas turbines by a simple algebraic relation between the governing nondimensional parameters. An analy sis is presented that does not adequately pre dict the heat transfer. The reasons for the discrepancy between analysis and experiment are discussed. (Author).

Download or read book Fluid Mechanics Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery written by Sydney Lawrence Dixon and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1978 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and updated, this well established and highly successful book gives a competent account of the fundamental theory of turbomachines. A concise and unified approach to the subject is employed which fills the need for a comprehensive introductory text suitable for most engineering curricula. The theoretical approach, based firmly on the fundamental principles of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, makes the book particularly suitable for undergraduate courses. It has also proved very useful to professional engineers who require a relevant text on the basic physical processes in turbomachines and their theoretical representation. Several modifications have been incorporated in the text in the light of recent advances in the subject. Further information on cavitation has been included and a new section on the optimum design of a pump inlet taking account of cavitation limitations has been added. Certain chapters have been extended: the section on 'Constant specific mass flow' design now includes the flow equations for a following rotor row, and the section on the definition of blade shapes has been extended to include the parabolic arc camber line blade. A list of symbols used in the text has been added. Each chapter contains a selection of useful problems and answers are provided at the end of the book. SI/Metric units are used throughout

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A summary is presented of a research program aimed at the improvement of high-temperature strain gages of the electrical resistance type. Potential ceramic and metal components were evaluated and a gage was devised that was based on these evaluations. This gage (NBS 5B) was flexible and easy to install; however, it lacked resistance stability at higher temperatures. In an attempt to minimize this deficiency, ceramic cements were developed that showed greater electrical resistivity than had been previously observed in the range 800 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit; also, a technique was devised for increasing the resistance to ground by applying a fired-on ceramic coating to the grid of a specifically developed unbacked gage. A study was made of the cause of the erratic response of cemented gages that had not been preheated prior to use. There were strong indications that the erratic response was caused mostly by the rapid decrease in resistance that accompanied structural changes in the cement.
