FLUID MECHANICS CONCEPT & CENTRIFUGAL PUMP DESIGN: CENTRIFUGAL PUMP DESIGN

This book starts with required unit conversion for pump design/ sizing calculation. In this book, the content is not divided into chapters. In spite of that, step by step topic is listed in the Index. It is mandatory for a reader to read this book stepwise to understand fundamentals and concepts; required for design calculations. If you read this book, sequence-wise, step by step, you will be able to perform the pump design calculation like a professional Process Design Engineer and understand fluid mechanics in depth.
In this book, I have included the manual calculation for steady-state curves [when the pump is not running] and dynamics curves [when the pump is running], with the help of this book you can draw each pump curve manually using excel.
Book provides clear understanding where process design engineer usually gets confused.
