Aims and Scope

This comprehensive journal provides the latest information on rotating machines and machine elements. This technology has become essential to many industrial processes, including gas-, steam-, water-, or wind-driven turbines at power generation systems, and in food processing, automobile and airplane engines, heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, and chemical or petroleum refining. In spite of the importance of rotating machinery and the huge financial resources involved in the industry, only a few publications distribute research and development information on the prime movers. This journal is the first source to combine the technology, as it applies to all of these specialties, previously scattered throughout literature.

The International Journal of Rotating Machinery (IJRM), sponsored by the Pacific Center of Thermal-Fluids Engineering as well as the Gas Turbine Society of Japan, presents research results on all types of rotating machinery employing gas, vapor, particle, liquid, and their mixtures (including slurry) as the working substances. Articles cover the topics of combustion, control design, dynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, materials, manufacturing, structures, solar energy, and thermodynamics.
