Rotating Machinery: Technology and Applications

Rotating machinery constitutes a major and integral component of a broad range of mechanical systems in a variety of areas such as industrial plants, vehicles and household appliances. They are generally made up of two main parts, the stator and the rotor. The stationary part of the machinery is known as the stator while the non-stationary part is called the rotor. A few examples of rotating machines are steam turbines, gas turbines, gearboxes and aircraft engines. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels. The topics included in it on rotating machinery are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make it an invaluable source of knowledge.
