No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1964–65 to 1968–69 (before that, 1963–64 used the number for Fluid Machinery); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Performance characteristics, laws of modelling, classification and selection of turbemachines. Cavitation, suction specific speed. Compressible fluids, small stage efficiency, Laval nozzles. Energy transfer in pumps, compressors, and turbines. Cascade mechanics, blade design by thin airfoil theory. Three’ dimensional effects, energy losses.
As printed in the 1968–69 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
