Working Guide to Pumps and Pumping Stations Calculations and Simulations by Shashi Menon and Pramila S. Menon. This book is about the application of pumps and pumping stations used in pipelines transporting liquids. It is designed to be a working guide for engineers and technicians dealing with centrifugal pumps in the water, petroleum, oil, chemical, power, and process industries. The basic theory of pumps and how pumps are applied to practical situations using examples of simulations are described in this book.
