TURBINES COMPRESSORS AND FANS 

It is gratifying to note that in this book unified treatment and dimensional analysis have been duly emphasized in the initial chapters of the book, although its title projects specific types of turbomachinery. Such a unified treatment generally broadens the horizon and facilitates horizontal transfer of knowledge and experience. Another significant aspect is the use of SI units throughout the book.

This should form a pace-setter for having all other technical books with SI units. After covering the essential aero-thermodynamic principles of turbomachinery, the author deals separately with a chapter on cascades which have formed the basis for the optimum selection of aerodynamic geometry of blades. This is a very welcome feature of the book.

A subject oftopical interest dealing. with "High Temperature Turbines" has been covered by devoting to it a full chapter. Although classical turbomachines continue to play a major role in the energy sector, a class of machines called wind turbines are gaining importance due to the renewable nature of wind energy. It is but appropriate that the book closes with a chapter on wind energy and turbines giving it a measure of completeness commensurate with the title.
