A turbine is a mechanical device that converts the energy of a fluid into rotational motion through a series of blades or vanes. The fundamental principle behind turbine operation is the conversion of kinetic or potential energy from the fluid into mechanical energy, which can then be used to perform work or generate electricity. Turbines are integral components in various systems, including power generation, aviation, and industrial processes. The design and modeling of turbines involve complex considerations to optimize efficiency and performance. This includes aerodynamics to maximize the interaction between the fluid and blades, material science to withstand high stresses and temperatures, and thermodynamics to ensure effective energy conversion. Advances in computational modeling and materials have significantly enhanced the design capabilities, enabling the development of more efficient and robust turbine systems. This book outlines the processes and applications of turbines in detail. The various sub-fields of turbine models and design along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in this book. For all those who are interested in turbines, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
