Centrifugal pumps
"This book gives an unparalleled, up to-date, in-depth treatment of all kinds of flow phenomena encountered in centrifugal pumps including the complex interactions of fluid flow with vibrations wear of materials." "To ease the use of the information, the methods and procedures for the various calculations and failure diagnostics discussed in the text gathered in more than 100 pages of tables which may be considered almost unique in the open literature. The text focuses on practical application in the industry and is free of mathematical or theoretical ballast. In order to the viable solutions in practice, the physical mechanisms involved should be thoroughly understood. The book is focused on fostering this under standing which will benefit the pump engineer an industry as well as academia and students."--Jacket
