Pump Characteristics and Applications

This book is a practical introduction to the characteristics and applications
of pumps, with a primary focus on centrifugal pumps. Pumps are among
the oldest machines still in use and, after electric motors, are probably the
most widely used machines today in commercial and industrial activities.

Despite the broad use of pumps, this subject is covered only briefly in many
engineering curricula. Furthermore, companies that use pumps are often
unable to provide their engineers, operators, mechanics, and supervisors the kind of training in pump application, selection, and operation that this vital equipment merits.

The purpose of this book is to give engineers and technicians a general
understanding of pumps and to provide the tools to allow them to prop-
erly select, size, operate, and maintain pumps. There are numerous books
on the market about pumps, but most of them are very technical, and are
mainly design oriented, or else are directed to a specific niche market.

I have attempted to provide practical information on pumps and systems to readers with all levels of experience, without getting so immersed in design details as to overwhelm the reader.
