The book enhances graduate-level fluid mechanics and turbomachinery theory with numerous problems and detailed solutions. It aids students in applying key concepts of fluid mechanics and the governing conservation laws to solve real-world problems. It covers flowpath aerodynamics design and secondary air systems modeling of gas turbines.
