The complete reference for engineers and designers working on pump design and development, or using centrifugal pumps in the field. This authoritative guide has been developed with access to the technical expertise of the leading centrifugal pump developer, Sulzer. In addition to providing the most comprehensive centrifugal pump theory and design reference, with detailed material on cavitation, erosion, selection of materials, rotor vibration behaviour and forces acting on pumps, the Handbook also covers key pumping applications topics and operational issues including operating performance in various types of circuitry, drives and acceptance testing.
