Compressor application engineering. Volumes 1 and 2
This two-volume set is a comprehensive overview of compressor technology, covering compression equipment and the engines that drive it. It presents a rigorous analytical approach to the action of valves, piping, and equipment on fluids. The Volume 1 specifically discusses the Compression Equipment. Beginning with a review of thermodynamics of gas compression and compression efficiency, the book goes on to cover the whole range of blowers and compressors (volumetric and turbocompressors), including operating principles and design data. Contents: Thermodynamic laws and formulas. Compressor efficiency. Positive displacement compressors. Blowers with rotating lobes. Sliding-vane blowers. Screw-type rotary compressors. Reciprocating compressors. Turbocompressor characteristics and operating principles. Turbocompressor components. Centrifugal compressors. Axial compressors. Appendixes: Curves for compression power, volumetric efficiency, horsepower, and adiabatic efficiency.
