Abstract This chapter and Chap. 10 treat the rotating modules of both aero engines and gas turbines. These modules are compressible turboachinery (or turbomachines). Let us first introduce a definition for turbomachines. The word (turbo) or (turbines) is of Latin origin, meaning “that which spins or whirls around.” Though compressible turbomachines may be fans, compressors, blowers, aircraft propellers, gas, and steam turbines, only compressors, fans, and turbines found in aero engines (or gas turbines) will be discussed in this book. Though the working fluid for a compressible turbomachine may be air, gases, vapor, or steam, only air and gases will be considered here as they are the operating media in both aero engines and gas turbines.
