Pumping Machinery Theory and Practice

Pumping Machinery Theory and Practice by Hassan M. Badr and Wael H. Ahmed. This book is intended to be a basic reference to the theoretical foundation and applications of various types of pumping machinery. In view of the great importance of pumps and compressors in almost every engineering system, this book presents the fundamental concepts underlying the flow processes taking place in these machines and the transformation of mechanical energy into fluid power. Special emphasis is given to basic theoretical formulation and design considerations of pumps and compressors in addition to improving problem-solving skills. This is achieved through the presentation of solved examples of applied nature using analytical means and/or basic engineering practices.
