Opis

The design of hydraulic machinery in general, and of centrifugal pumps in particular has been and still is essentially empirical. It has been the author's desire at the conclusion of his professional activity to leave behind a document describing at least part of the experience gained over the years in pump design and to offer firm design guidelines to aid the younger designers entering the field of hydraulic design.

The design of hydraulic machinery in general, and of centrifugal pumps in particular, has been, and still is, essentially empirical. One reason for this is the great variety of types, sizes, and uses of centrifugal pumps, resulting in a great multiplicity of design considerations.
