Download or read book Working Guide to Pump and Pumping Stations written by E. Shashi Menon and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working 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; the properties of liquids; the performance curve; 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; applications and economics of centrifugal pumps and pipeline systems; 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. - Calculations for their selection, sizing and power output - Case studies based on the author's 35 years of field experience - Covers all types of pumps - Simplified models and simulations

Download or read book Pump User s Handbook written by Heinz P. Bloch and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-07-13 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A valuable reference, Pump User's Handbook: Life Extension explains just how and why the best-of-class pump users are consistently achieving superior run lengths, low maintenance expenditures, and unexcelled safety and reliability. The book conveys, in detail, what must be done to rapidly accomplish best-of-class performance and low life cycle cost. Simply put, the text explains what exactly needs to be done if a facility wants to progress from being a one, two, or three year pump MTBF plant, and wishes to join the leading money-making facilities that today achieve a demonstrated pump MTBF of 8.6 years. Written by two practicing engineers whose combined 80-year working career included all conceivable facets of pumping technology, book provides experience-based details, data, guidance, direction, explanations, and firm recommendations. Implementing what this text explains will allow a plant to move from yesterday's demonstrably unprofitable and costly repair focus to tomorrow's absolutely necessary reliability focus.
Download or read book Capture Pumping Technology written by K. Welch and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-10-11 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a practical textbook written for use by engineers, scientists and technicians. It is not intended to be a rigorous scientific treatment of the subject material, as this would fill several volumes. Rather, it introduces the reader to the fundamentals of the subject material, and provides sufficient references for an in-depth study of the subject by the interested technologist. The author has a lifetime teaching credential in the California Community College System. Also, he has taught technical courses with the American Vacuum Society for about 35 years. Students attending many of these classes have backgrounds varying from high-school graduates to Ph.D.s in technical disciplines. This is an extremely difficult class profile to teach. This book still endeavors to reach this same audience. Basic algebra is required to master most of the material. But, the calculus is used in derivation of some of the equations. The author risks use of the first person I, instead of the author, and you instead of the reader. Both are thought to be in poor taste when writing for publication in the scientific community. However, I am writing this book for you because the subject is exciting, and I enjoy teaching you, perhaps, something new. The book is written more in the vein of a one-on-one discussion with you, rather than the author lecturing to the reader. There are anecdotes, and examples of some failures and successes I have had over the last forty-five years in vacuum related activities, I'll try not to understate either. Lastly, there are a few equations which if memorised will help you as a vacuum technician. There are less than a dozen equations and half that many rules of thumb to memorize, which will be drawn on time an again in designing, operating and trouble-shooting any vacuum system.
