Blade Design and Analysis for Steam Turbines Book by George Lucas and Murari Singh. The purpose of this book is to introduce these advances in a concise volume and provide an easy-to-understand reference for practicing engineers who are involved in the design, specification, and evaluation of industrial steam turbines in general, and critical process compressor drivers in particular. This text has also attempted to present a unified view of concepts and techniques needed in the understanding of blade design. It includes some advanced concepts such as life estimation of steam turbines.
