Features: This book provides a detailed introduction to the fundamental theories and typical structures of fluid machinery. It mainly includes: the definition and energy conversion of fluid machinery, the working principles of fluid machinery, the fundamental theories of fluid machinery, the typical structures and applications of fluid machinery, and the fluid dynamics fundamentals of turbomachinery. The foundation of fluid machinery is one of the core professional courses for various specializations within the "Thermal and Power Engineering" program in higher vocational and technical colleges, including fluid machinery and computer applications (the original hydromechanical specialization), water conservancy and hydropower power engineering, thermal turbine engineering, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. This book focuses on describing the characteristics, working principles, basic structures, and application ranges of various types of fluid machinery. It also discusses the fluid mechanics fundamentals for the design calculations of different types of fluid machinery, aiming to lay a solid foundation for students in the research and design of fluid machinery. This book serves as the planned teaching material for the "Thermal and Power Engineering" program in higher vocational and technical colleges and can also be used as a reference book for teaching fluid machinery in related disciplines. Additionally, it is suitable for engineers engaged in the design, research, operation, and management of fluid machinery.
