Published in late 2007, the book's "plot" follows a logical progression: starting with the history of turbomachinery and fluid mechanical principles, it moves into the specific derivation of energy transfer equations like the Euler equation .

Most texts focus heavily on gas turbines or pumps. Peng covers the full spectrum, including gas, steam, wind, and hydraulic turbines, as well as fans, blowers, and compressors. Bridge Between Theory and Reality: Published in late 2007, the book's "plot" follows
Peng wrote the book specifically to help students transition from basic fluid mechanics to professional engineering. He intentionally included both SI and English units , recognizing that while the industry was moving toward SI, U.S. practitioners would still need to be familiar with both for several more decades. Peng covers the full spectrum, including gas, steam,
