Turbopumps and Pumping Systems by Springer Ahmad Nourbakhsh · André B. Jaumotte Charles Hirsch · Hamideh B. Parizi. Pumps are one of the mechanical devices that are widely used in many industries throughout the world. Turbopumps which are common types of pumps are used mainly for transporting water in agricultural units, industrial processes, cooling and heating systems, and power plants. But their application is not limited only for handling water. Turbopumps can be used for transporting oil products in oil and gas industries and refineries, as well as byproducts in pulp and paper industry, food and beverage in the food industry, and contaminated water in sewage systems. Therefore, it is essential for all consulting engineers working in this field, pump users, and operating personnel to have enough knowledge about the principals of turbopump operation and most importantly have the expertise to select, install and operate turbopumps properly.
