Fluid Mechanics and Turbomachinery: Problems and Solutions

This book is an ideal resource for enhancing graduate-level fluid mechanics and turbomachinery theory through real-world problems and detailed solutions. It is one thing to understand fundamental concepts and various conservation laws in fluid mechanics but applying them to solve practical problems is another challenge. The book enables students to practice applying key concepts of fluid mechanics and the governing conservation laws to solve real-world problems. The text presents innovative problems with systematically worked, detailed solutions using the physics-first approach. It covers flowpath aerodynamics design and secondary air systems modeling of gas turbines. As a source of numerous graduate-level practice problems with detailed solutions, the book will be helpful to students, teaching faculty, practicing engineers, and researchers engaged in many branches of fluid mechanics.
