Description

Book Synopsis
The design of hydraulic machinery in general and of centrifugal pumps in particular has been essentially empirical. This text attempts to establish a rational step-by-step design procedure including the geometrical aspects of the design, to assist the designer in making appropriate design choices.

Nomencalture.

Chapter 1. Classification of centrifugal pumps.

Chapter 2. Pump losses.

Chapter 3. Theoretical deviation of pump geometry associated with the maximum attainable efficiency at the design point.

Chapter 4. Efficiency penalities due to departures from the optimum configuration.

Chapter 5. Pump performance at off-design conditions.

Chapter 6. Performance adjustments by modifications and rework of the pump on test.
