Design And Analysis Of Centrifugal Compressors

Design and Analysis of Centrifugal Compressors comprehensively covers the fluid dynamics of centrifugal compressors, providing the fundamental information to help aid in the design of more efficient centrifugal compressors and to help solve aerodynamic problems. It provides an overview of analytical flow models previously developed, in conjunction with research conducted by the author over the last 40 years, and also covers numerical and analytical prediction models. The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)for the design and analysis of centrifugal compressors is considered, examining the pros and cons of the different approaches.

Design and Analysis of Centrifugal Compressors combines theory and practical examples, and links the fundamentals from the last century with recent developments in computational design and optimization.
