Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a brief but thorough account of the basic principles of good pump design. It presents the basic hydraulic equations, including cavitation, and discusses the principles that underlie the correct performance of centrifugal pumps and axial machines, giving two design examples. It then outlines analytical methods for flow calculations, including special techniques used in computer aided design. Shafts, bearings, seals and drives, design for difficult fluids, and codes and practices are treated in the last three chapters.
