This book is both a state-of-the-art review of centrifugal pump technology and a practical guide to designers. Continuous development over a period of several decades has led to a rational approach to the understanding, design, and development of centrifugal pumps. Many aspects of this consistent approach are outlined in this book. Detailed description of all the important elements of a pump stage are included. Particular attention is paid to the impeller and the diffuser, which are the key elements in achieving the necesary head rise. Inlets, volutes, collectors, and return channels are also discussed in depth. Extensive use is made of the graphs, line drawings, and photographs. The text includes several hundred references which cover all of the important developments int the technology base over the past forty years. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experimental testing are emphasized as essentials parts of the design review process. [Source : d'après la 4e de couverture].
The impeller is the rotating part that converts driver energy into kinetic energy. The volute is the stationary part that converts kinetic energy into pressure. This edited volume discusses this topic.
Centrifugal pumps perform many important functions to control the built environment. The physics and basic mechanics of pumps have not changed substantially in the last century.
Centrifugal Pump Design and Application
This Book, Written With An Applications-Oriented Approach, Is Divided Into Four Parts. Part I Covers The General Aspects Of Fluid Flow And Pumps Including The Governing Theories Of Fluid Flow.
Describe and Operate Centrifugal Pumps
This book compiles various case studies which take into consideration the strong collaboration between the pump and the pumping installation, and the need to manage the process.
