Description
This book will be of vital interest to all engineers and designers concerned with centrifugal pumps and turbines. Including statistical
information derived from 20000 pumps and 700 turbines with capacities of 5gpm to 5000000gpm, this book offers the widest range and scope
of information currently available. Statistical analyses suggest practical methods of increasing pump performance and provide valuable
data for new design aspects.
Audience
For engineers, system designers concerned with centrifugal pumps and turbines.
