Key personnel have been the victims of early retirement or have moved to other industries: contractors and end-users have reduced their technical staff and consequently have to learn complex material 'from scratch'. As a result, many companies are finding that they are devoting unnecessary man hours to the discovery and explanation of basic principles, and having to explain these to clients who should already be aware of them. In addition, the lack of understanding by contractors and users of equipment characteristics and operating systems often results in a 'wrong fit' and a costly reliability problem.Forsthoffer's Rotating Equipment Handbooks: Pumps presents the operation of pumps in a process system, (using the concept of pump required and produced head) pump selection for cost-effective maximum reliability, eliminating hydraulic disturbances in the design and field operationphases, control and protection, practical component monitoring of performance, bearing, seal and auxiliary system condition to assure optimum pump safety and reliability.Forsthoffer's Rotating Equipment Handbook: Pumps is the second title in the five volume set. The volumes are: 1. Fundamentals of Rotaing Equipment; 2. Pumps; 3. Compressors; 4. Auxiliary Systems; 5. Reliability Optimization through Component Condition Monitoring and Root Cause Analysis'.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Pump Types and Appplications\u003cbr\u003e Pump Characteristics - positive displacement vs centrifugal (kinetic)\u003cbr\u003e Operation of a Pump in a Process System\u003cbr\u003e Pump Performance Data\u003cbr\u003e The Concept of Pump Head\u003cbr\u003e Pump Selection\u003cbr\u003e Centrifugal Pump Hydraulic Disturbances\u003cbr\u003e Centrifugal Pump Testing\u003cbr\u003e Pump Mechanical Design\u003cbr\u003e Mechanical Seals\u003cbr\u003e Pump Control and Protection\u003cbr\u003e Conversion to Metric System\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Steam engines [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Steam engines\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Steam%20engines%20%5BTGBN1%5D%22\"\u003eTGBN1\u003c\/a\u003e], Mechanical engineering [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Mechanical engineering\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Mechanical%20engineering%20%5BTGB%5D%22\"\u003eTGB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651775320344,"sku":"9781856174688","price":109.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781856174688.jpg?v=1696713380","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/2-forsthoffers-rotating-equipment-handbooks-pumps-hardback-9781856174688","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
