| Author | K. Myles |
| Biblio | 2002; 224 Pages; Hard Cover |
| Description | Completely updated and revised. This new fourth edition of "Pumps" contains a wealth of new information to give a wider overview of the types of pumps available and their applications. As with previous editions, this book introduces the non-academic to the basic theories of liquid transport. It provides an understanding of pumps, and pump performance, sufficient to assist the reader in resolving with confidence pumping problems that may be encountered. Whilst providing sufficient theoretical grounding this book is essentially a practical one which concentrates on providing information needed for the day-to-day operation, management and problem solving of pumps and pumping systems. This book was sponsored by the South African Pump Manufacturers Association (SAMPA), and a large part of the material in this book is used in SAMPA training courses. Valuable for both novices and experts alike. The book serves as a practical introduction to industrial pumps and pumping systems for the non-expert while also providing specialists with both detailed information and wide coverage so that it may serve as a technical reference source. The book begins with an introduction to the properties of fluids, fluid motion, and pump operation, testing and maintenance. A large selection is devoted to pumping applications, the pump types used and their lubrication. Attention is paid to erosion and corrosion control, and seals, packing motors, drives and control equipment are also covered. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of figures, graphs, diagrams, photographs and tables, this is a comprehensive up-to-date reference that will prove useful to all associated with the pump industry, and those involved with pumping applications. |
