This book present the basic of thermal and hydraulic machine. This book covers the laws and the essential principles of thermodynamics that form the basis on which thermal machines operates. It also covers the principles, construction details and the methods of control of hydraulic and thermal machines. The coverage of thermal machines includes steam turbine, gas turbine, IC engine, and reciprocating and centrifugal compressors. The coverage of hydraulic machines includes hydraulic turbine, reciprocating pumps and centrifugal pumps. The classification, construction and efficiency of these machines have been discussed with plenty of diagrams and solved examples. This will help the readers understand easily the underlying principles. Salient Features Provides succinct coverage of all operating aspects of thermal and hydraulic machines. Provides a large number of solved examples at the end of every chapter to help students achieve a sound understanding of the subject matter.
