About this book

This comprehensive guide begins with foundational concepts in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and mechanical principles, providing a solid understanding of the core theories. It then explores a diverse range of real-world applications, from industrial processes to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Special emphasis is placed on the critical roles that compressors and blowers play in boosting productivity, with a particular focus on their impact on advancing energy-efficient technologies and optimizing modern systems for greater performance and sustainability.

  • Presentation of the latest innovations and advanced topics like computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
  • Case studies, real-world examples, and best practices enabling readers to understand and overcome actual challenges.
