Despite its vintage origins, the fundamental principles remain essential for today’s turbine professionals, making it a must-have reference for engineers and designers aiming to deepen their expertise. ## Description This volume---originally published in the Soviet Union---is intended as a text-book for the students of technical colleges as well as engineers and designers specialising in turbine building. Basic theoretical concepts of the thermodynamic processes of stationary steam turbines have been dealt with in detail. Variable load operation of these turbines has also been considered. The reader will find here enough material concerning the basic concepts of gas dynamics as applied to steam turbines as well as design and construct ion of steam turbines and their details with regard to mechanical strength. Considerable space has been devoted to the description of turbines of various manufacture. The book contains a profusion of tables, diagrams and illustrations which, it is hoped, would enable the reader to acquire a better understanding of the theory and design of steam turbines. Review: Review of Steam Turbines by P. Shlyakhin - This book is an English translation of the original Russian book. It was translated by Dr. A. Jaganmohan - retired Professor from Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, India. The English translation flows very smoothly and, so makes the reading very easy. The book mainly describes Russian practises in designing and building steam turbines that was being followed during late 1950s and 1960s. The units used in the book are Metric (and not SI). The book describes both the theoretical principles and the construction details. But, let us be realistic - the fundamental principles of steam turbines have not really changed since the time of writing the book. So, the book is still relevant even today. The book is quite well illustrated. The book used to be used as a textbook for Graduate classes on Turbomachinery at IIT Mumbai. But, I am of the opinion that the book will be more useful for a practising Engineer than for a College Graduate student. Review: Great bolk very informative - Great book clear and concise. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,368,712 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,382 in Mechanical Engineering (Books) #3,771 in Energy Production & Extraction | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 26 Reviews | ## Images ![Steam Turbines: Theory and Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719BLVXjF6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review of Steam Turbines by P.
