Información sobre este eBook

This textbook explores the working principles of all kinds of turbomachines. The same theoretical framework is used to analyze the different machine types. The order in which the different kinds are treated is chosen by the possibility of gradually building up theoretical concepts. For each of the turbomachine kinds, a balance is sought between fundamental understanding and knowledge of practical aspects. Readers are invited through challenging exercises to consider how the theory applies to particular cases. This textbook appeals to senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical engineering and to professional engineers seeking to understand the operation of turbomachines. Readers will gain a fundamental understanding of turbomachines and will be able to make a reasoned choice of a turbomachine for a particular application.

Acerca del autor

Erik Dick was born on December 10, 1950, in Torhout, Belgium. He obtained a M.Sc. in electromechanical engineering from Ghent University in 1973 and a Ph.D. in computational fluid dynamics in 1980. From 1973, he worked as researcher and became full professor of mechanical engineering at Ghent University in 1995, where he taught turbomachines and computational fluid dynamics. He retired in September 2014 and is now part-time individual senior researcher, combined with retirement. His area of research is computational methods and turbulence and transition models for flow problems in mechanical engineering. He received the 1990 Iwan Akerman Award for fluid machinery of the Belgian National Science Foundation.
