Sure there's got to be good reference materials nowadays, thanks for the suggestion. Back in the day we used two books, one by a French author (Marcel Sedille) - "Turbo-Machines, Hydrauliques et Thermiques"; and the Spanish bible-reference "Turbomáquinas Hidráulicas", by Claudio Mataix.

The funny thing was the French book was already out of print even then, but the teacher insisted it was "the one" - probably because he used it to study the subject himself. Needless to say that not having the text widely available didn't make it easier on the students, which I always suspected was part of the same plot ;-)
