Preface Working Guide to Pumps and Pumping Stations :
This book is about the application of pumps and pumping stations used in pipelines transporting liquids. It is designed to be a working guide for engineers and technicians dealing with centrifugal pumps in the water, petroleum, oil, chemical, and process industries. The reader will be introduced to the basic theory of pumps and how pumps are applied to practical situations using examples of simulations, without extensive mathematical analysis. In most cases, the theory is explained and followed by solved example problems in both U.S. Customary System (English) and SI (metric) units. Additional practice problems are provided in each chapter as further exercise
The book consists of nine chapters and nine appendices. The first chapter introduces the reader to the various types of pumps used in the industry, the properties of liquids, performance curves, and the Bernoulli’s equation. The next chapter discusses the performanceof centrifugal pumps in more detail, including variation with impeller speed and diameter. The concept of specific speed is introduced and power calculations explained. Chapter 3 reviews the effect of liquid specific gravity and viscosity on pump performance and how the Hydraulic Institute Method can be used to correct the pump performancefor high viscosity liquids. The temperaturerise of a liquid when it is pumped and pump operation with the dischargevalve closed are discussed.
