Book Summary:

The objective of this book is to cover comprehensively the basics of turbo machines. Turbo machines has been an essential subject in the engineering curriculum and is often perceived as a tough subject mainly due to the inavailability of standard textbooks. I have made an attempt here to provide adequate material for the study of both compressible and incompressible flow turbo machines. The book adopts the S I :; system of units throughout. It includes numerous solved and unsolved problems in each chapter to assist students in understanding the subject.

Audience of the Book :

This book Useful for Mechanical Engineering Students.
