520 _a and pump simulation using the software PUMPCALC. 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. This book was designed to be a working guide for engineers and technicians dealing with centrifugal pumps in the water, petroleum, oil, chemical, and process industries. Key features include: Calculations for their selection, sizing and power output
520 _a and Simplified models and simulations.
520 _a and the Bernoullis equation. It then looks at the factors that affect pump performance and the various methods of calculating pressure loss in piping systems. This is followed by discussions of pump system head curves
520 _a applications and economics of centrifugal pumps and pipeline systems
520 _a Case studies based on the author's 35 years of field experience
520 _a Covers all types of pumps
520 _a the performance curve
520 _a the properties of liquids
520 _aWorking Guide to Pumps and Pumping Stations: Calculations and Simulations discusses the application of pumps and pumping stations used in pipelines that transport liquids. It provides an introduction to the basic theory of pumps and how pumps are applied to practical situations using examples of simulations, without extensive mathematical analysis. The book begins with basic concepts such as the types of pumps used in the industry
