This book was originally conceived as a text for students in their final year reading for an honours degree in engineering that included turbomachinery as a main subject. It was also found to be useful support for students embarking on post-graduate courses at master's level. The book was written for engineers rather than for mathematicians, although some knowledge of mathematics will prove most useful. Also, it is assumed from the start that readers will have completed preliminary courses in fluid mechanics.
