Centrifugal Pumps : Designs & Application, 2nd Edition

Centrifugal Pumps : Designs and Applications offers practical, experience tested information on pump design criteria and application. The book includes chapters on vertical, double-case and chemical pumps. The topic of rotor dynamics has been expanded, particularly in the areas of bearing stiffness and damping, seal effects and the evaluation of critical speed calculations. A section is devoted to installation, operation and extending pump life with emphasis on bearing, lubricators, mechanical seal reliability and the external alignment of pump and driver.
