Fundamentals of Turbomachines, 2015 Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications Series, Vol. 109
Auteur : Dick Erik
This book explores the working principles of all kinds of turbomachines.
The same theoretical framework is used to analyse the different machine
types. Fundamentals are first presented and theoretical concepts are
then elaborated for particular machine types, starting with the simplest
ones. For each machine type, the author strikes a balance between
building basic understanding and exploring knowledge of practical
aspects. Readers are invited through challenging exercises to consider
how the theory applies to particular cases and how it can be
generalised.
The book is primarily meant as a course book. It
teaches fundamentals and explores applications. It will appeal 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. They will also be able to make a reasoned choice of
turbomachine for a particular application and to understand its
operation. Basic design of the simplest turbomachines as a centrifugal
fan, an axial steam turbine or a centrifugal pump, is also possible
using the topics covered in the book.

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 teaches turbomachines and computational fluid dynamics. His area of research is computational methods and turbulence and transition models for flow problems in mechanical engineering. He is author or co-author of about 125 papers in international scientific journals and about 250 papers at international conferences. He is the recipient of the 1990 Iwan Akerman award for fluid machinery of the Belgian National Science Foundation.
Analyses all kinds of turbomachines with the same theoretical framework
Builds up theory with a mixture of general formulation of concepts and elaborates these concepts on particular machines
Includes exercises
