When I studied electromechanical engineering at the University of Brussels, my professor of applied mechanics explained how turbopumps and turbines work. He proved the equation of Euler: he drew two curved lines on the blackboard (yeah, that was 1970) and proved Euler's law, a proof of one page. Then he said, This law applies to all pumps and turbines. That was it. I wondered, What do I know about a pump or turbine? I had no answer. It was only when I became a professor and had to teach courses like Pumps and compressors and Steam and gas turbines and started to read magazines, brochures, and books on the subject that I saw what those devices looked like without a casing and how they worked. I also think that a beautiful or detailed picture can explain much more than text alone or dry formulas. That opinion informs this book. There are more than 700 drawings and pictures in this book. I hope you like them!

I worked a lot as a professor. I started in 1973 giving courses in electricity, electrotechnics, electronics, and highfrequency techniques for four years. Then I became a professor in mechanics, giving courses in thermodynamics, applied thermodynamics (pumps and compressors, combustion engines, steam and gas turbines, refrigeration techniques, heat techniques), materials science, fluid mechanics, strength of materials, pneumatics and hydraulics, CAD2D, CAD3D, CNC, CAM, and so. For these subjects, I designed detailed courses, first on the typewriter (do you know what that is?) and then, from 1983, on the computer. My first computer had an 8bit processor with 16kB of RAM and the printer was a matrix printer. In total I offered 45 subjects. When I ended my career, my courses comprised 2857 pages per year.
