About the Book

Part of a series of "Introductory Guides" aimed at engineers requiring information on aspects of engineering outside of their own areas of knowledge, this book is designed to give an understanding of the types of pumps available, their operating principles and the way they interact, along with the necessary background to enable the engineer to assess information from manufacturers and to make a useful contribution to technical discussions. The approach used assumes some basic knowledge of fluid mechanics, but deals with all the essential equations in context. This text should be of interest to practising engineers and technicians in industry, to design engineers and to consultants, researchers, teachers and students.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Introduction to pump types and their layout: the main components of rotordynamic pumps; positive displacement pumps; range charts. Part 2 Rotordynamic pump principles: the Euler equation; efficiency definitions; centrifugal pump principles; axial flow pump principles; similarity, model laws, specfic speed; the effect of changes in density and viscosity; specific speed or characteristic number; centrifugal impeller and casing geometry; axial flow pump impeller and casing geometry; hydraulic loads, radial and axial thrust. Part 3 Positive displacement pump principles: basic principles; the effect on pressure rise, speed and viscosity; the effect of gas content; pump protection. Part 4 Pumping system losses and their estimation: losses due to friction; losses due to flow through bends, valves and other features; typical system characteristics; Net System Positive Suction Head (NPSH) or Net Positive Suction Energy (NPSE); the effect of fluid properties. Part 5 Cavitation effects on pumps: cavitation effects; criteria used to predict the hydraulic effects; noise criteria for rotodynamic pumps; sizing of suction to give good NPSEr for centrifugal pumps; the effect of hot liquids; avoidance of cavitation problems. Part 6 The interaction between pumps and systems: the steady state interaction between a pump and a system; flow adjustment by system change; flow adjustment by the use of geometry changes or speed control; pumps in a series or parallel; a discussion of starting and changing of duty point. Part 7 Selection and application pumps: establishing the pump duty; which type of pump?; effect of fluid pumped on pump design; priming; the influence of standards and codes of practice.
