Ebook: Working Guide to Pumps and Pumping Stations - Calculations and Simulations

A plain language guide to the tools and techniques needed to ensure efficiency, this book provides practicing engineers and senior field personnel with a quick, but rigorous exposition of pumps, including applications. Readers will find expert advice for determining TDH, NPSH, BHP and driver power requirements, discharge temperature, parallel/series operation and their impact on the operating conditions; developing system-head curves and performance considerations; and pump selection for multi-product operations.
