OverviewCompressor Performance: Aerodynamics for the User, Third Edition continues the book's 25 year history as a trusted reference on compressor design and maintenance. This new edition is updated throughout to cover new regulations and technology relevant to compressors, with new content adding coverage of strings of equipment, including gas turbines. Users will find sections that run the full spectrum of information needed for an individual to select, operate, test and maintain axial or centrifugal compressors. In addition, basic aerodynamic theory provides users with the how's and why's of compressor design, and troubleshooting guidelines help maintenance engineers save time in the field.

Field Performance Testing 8. Troubleshooting 9. Flow Meters 10. Multi-section Compressors 11. Equipment String Analysis: Case Studies PART III REFERENCE MATERIAL Appendix A. Gas Properties Appendix B. Mollier Diagrams Appendix C. Conversion Tables Appendix D. Permissible Deviations and Fluctuations Appendix E. Thermal Expansion Factor Appendix F. Surge IdentificationReviewsPart 1, while this is brief, is a comprehensive and detailed summary and covers a significant amount of useful information for both practicing engineers but particularly engineering students. Part II of this book is where it really comes into its own. The book is written in an exceptionally clear manner that will be accessible to all. A sensible mix of theoretical modelling is included where appropriate, but always backed up by clear explanations, diagrams and examples. There are numerous example calculations through the book to help designers get to the fundamentals of the subject in question. As a result the book is of interest to both design and maintenance engineers as well as students. --The Aeronautical Journal Author InformationM. Theodore Gresh is president of Flexware, Inc., Grapeville, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. He has been involved in the design of high efficiency centrifugal compressor staging, field-testing of compressors and steam turbines, troubleshooting various field problems including performance problems, rotor dynamics issues, impeller failures and seal problems for over 40 years. While some of this time was in the Technical Services Dept of Elliott Co., Jeannette, PA, USA, he is presently with Flexware, Inc. a company focused on turbomachinery engineering consulting services, training seminars and software for turbomachinery performance analysis. Gresh received a B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh in 1971. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
