Hany Moustapha's foundational 2003 textbook, Axial and Radial Turbines Hany Moustapha’s seminal 2003 text
While the title by Hany Moustapha and co-authors is a seminal work in turbomachinery originally published in 2003 , its principles remain the gold standard for modern engineers. In 2021, research in the field—including studies from MDPI Energies —continues to build upon Moustapha's foundational methods to compare axial and radial configurations for new applications like small-scale power generation and underwater vehicles.
