The book deals with the main issues related to the operating principles of fluid machines and power plants for power generation. More specifically, the text will thoroughly detail compressors, pumps, hydraulic and steam turbines, internal combustion engines as well as gas, steam and combined plants for power generation.

The investigation into the machines functioning is aimed at highlighting the relationship between performance and geometry. Specific attention will be paid to the operating characteristic, to the overall design as well as to design and off-design operations. The power generating plants will be detailed under design conditions as well as with respect to load variations.
