An introduction to the theory and engineering practice that underpins the component design and analysis of radial flow turbocompressors. Drawing upon an extensive theoretical background and years of practical experience, the authors provide descriptions of applications, concepts, component design, analysis tools, performance maps, flow stability, and structural integrity, with illustrative examples. Features wide coverage of all types of radial compressor over many applications unified by the consistent use of dimensional analysis. Discusses the methods needed to analyse the performance, flow, and mechanical integrity that underpin the design of efficient centrifugal compressors with good flow range and stability. Includes explanation of the design of all radial compressor components, including inlet guide vanes, impellers, diffusers, volutes, return channels, de-swirl vanes and side-streams. Suitable as a reference for advanced students of turbomachinery, and a perfect tool for practising mechanical and aerospace engineers already within the field and those just entering it.

This is an excellent book which will be valuable to all those concerned with radial turbomachines. It is writtent and illustrated very clearly by two people who are experienced and highly respected. The last paragraph of the Preface opens with a really good sentence: it is the book the authors wished they had owned when they started in the field. That seems to me to be a good recommendation - a baton being passed to the next generation.

This is an extremely powerful guiding book for advanced students of turbomachinery and engineers entering this field as well as for specialists and academics already in this field, offering useful theory and the necessary pragmatic experience associated with the design, analysis across a range of applications for radial turbo-compressors. It is a very well structured and written book, providing most useful theoretical and practical approaches as well as some shortcuts in the wide literature based on the enormous experience and knowledge of his highly respected authors. This book is a pleasure to read, offers a fresh insights and provide at the same time a huge library of knowledge, a list of related useful literature, as well as best practices for engineers, which accompany them on their path of developing future turbo-technologies & products.

This is an outstanding book, it’s a book from two engineers with a huge experience in the design of centrifugal compressors. Prof. Casey also brings his understanding of the fundamental concepts and theory gained by teaching the subject at university. The book guides the reader through what is important to know and where to take care when designing high performance radial flow turbocompressors. It is a real gift to the turbomachinery community that the authors took the time and effort to write this book and pass their knowhow on in this way. l strongly recommend this book to all students and professionals in the field.
