This book is written to meet the needs of students in engineering colleges and practicing engineers in a large variety of industries where turbo-machines are used. All the material has been specifically tailored for college undergraduate and graduate level design engineering and vibration of rotating machine courses. Electronic spread-sheet type of calculations are used in example problems to calculate natural frequencies of vibration, dynamic response, fatigue life, and design parameters related to fluid flow and component sizing. It is expected that the reader is familiar with basic- to medium-level calculus offered at the college undergraduate level. The book is split into three parts. The first part focuses on the many different applications and forms of turbine engines and their special characteristics and operating features. The five chapters in this part look into the salient features of compressor, turbine, and combustor components for various applications of turbo-machines. The second part investigates the design aspects of the major components. The third part discusses associated topics such as material characteristics and manufacturing methods. Since the design features of a turbomachinery and its parts play such an overwhelming role in establishing the dynamic behavior of the components, module, or assembly during operation, a close correlation has been maintained throughout the book between the design and dynamics disciplines.
