9 Preface This text outlines the fluid and thermodynamic principles that apply to all classes of turbomachines, and the material has been presented in a unified way. The approach has been used with successive groups of final year mechanical engineering students, who have helped with the development of the ideas outlined. As with these students, the reader is assumed to have a basic understanding of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. However, the early chapters combine the relevant material with some new concepts, and provide basic reading references. Two related objectives have defined the scope of the treatment. The first is to provide a general treatment of the common forms of turbo machine, covering basic fluid dynamics and thermodynamics of flow through passages and over surfaces, with a brief derivation of the fundamental governing equations. The second objective is to apply this material to the various machines in enough detail to allow the major design and performance factors to be appreciated. Both objectives have been met by grouping the machines by flow path rather than by application, thus allowing an appreciation of points of similarity or difference in approach. No attempt has been made to cover detailed points of design or stressing, though the cited references and the body of information from which they have been taken give this sort of information. The first four chapters introduce the fundamental relations, and the succeeding chapters deal with applications to the various flow paths. The last chapter covers the effects of cavitation, solids suspensions, gas content and pumped storage systems, and includes a short discussion of the control of output. These topics have been included to highlight the difficulties encountered when the machine is not dealing with a clean Newtonian fluid, or in systems where problems are posed that can only be solved by compromise. Chapter 5 discusses all the conventional centrifugal machines, covering in a uniform manner the problems faced with liquids and gases: since high pressure rise machines have a number of stages, the ways in which fluid is

10 x Preface guided from stage to stage are introduced. Thrust load problems are described and the common solutions adopted are outlined. The discussion of axial machines has been divided between two chapters, as the technologies of pumps, fans and water turbines are similar but differ from those used in compressible machines. Radial flow turbines form the subject matter of Chapter 8, and the common designs in use in industry and in turbochargers are discussed. Worked examples have been included in all chapters but the last. They are intended to provide illustration of the main points of the text, and to give a feel for both the shape of the velocity triangles and the sizes of the velocity vectors that normally apply. They are of necessity simplified, and must not be regarded as representing current practice in all respects. No problems for student solution have been provided. Teachers normally prefer to devise their own material, and may obtain copies of examination qu~stions set by other institutions if they wish. As a matter of course the SI system of units has been used throughout, except in some diagrams. To assist the reader, a list of symbols used in the early chapters, together with a statement of the conventional dimensions used, follows the Preface. As far as possible the British Standard on symbols has been followed but, where current and hallowed practice dictates the use of certain symbols, these have been used; it is hoped that where the same symbol appears to have different meanings the context makes the usage clear. The material presented forms the core of a lecture course of about 46 hours, and the author hopes that in the inevitable distillation no ambiguities have occurred. He will be grateful for comments and suggestions, as he is still an earnest 'seeker after truth'. Finally, it is necessary to offer some words of thanks, especially to Mrs Redman, who ensured that the diagrams were clear, to Mrs Smith and Mrs McKnight, who helped with the typing, and finally to my dear wife, who was so patient and who ensured that the proof-reading was done properly.
