Pump Handbook

Fülszöveg

Mechanical Engineering YOUR BEST-BET GUIDE TO ESSENTIAL MACHINERY-UPDATED Whenever and wherever fluids must be moved, a pump-next to the electric motor, the second most common machine used today- must be there. And if you work with pumps, the PUMP HANDBOOK, the field's hands-down reference leader, must be there, too. Newly revised, and bringing together the resources of international experts, this job-critical work is the one and only guide to the design, application, specification, purchase, operation, and maintenance of pumps of all kinds. Covering everything from advanced seals and bearings to basic design paradigms, the PUMP HANDBOOK takes you through all the latest developments in pump technologies. This important update, the first in 14 years, contains many new and revised sections and offers practical guidance to help you: • Design leading-edge pumps of all types for any uses • Estimate pump performance in any supply and delivery system, including minimum flow and suction...
