Principles of Turbomachinery, 2nd Edition, provides a unified treatment of machines that transfer energy between a rotor and a fluid. This textbook supports students and professionals transitioning from introductory coursework in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer into the analysis of turbomachinery.

The volume addresses fundamental principles alongside an array of configurations, examining steam turbines, axial and radial inflow turbines, axial and centrifugal compressors, pumps, hydraulic machinery, and wind turbines.

Designed for mechanical, aeronautical, and chemical engineering programs, the second edition incorporates 50% more exercises than the previous edition. Computational examples and problem sets across the book use MATLAB or GNU/OCTAVE, including applications for steam calculations.
