Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book surveys the world of pumps and pumping machinery, from the simplest hand-operated water pumps to the complex machinery at the heart of today's water supply systems. It provides a rich history of these machines and their inventors, showing the progression from scoop-style water-lifting devices to the large-scale, power-driven pumps used for water supply, drainage, and other purposes. The author presents the basic principles of pump design as they relate to common types of pumps, including lift pumps, force pumps, and lift and force pumps. The book provides valuable insights into the functions, properties, and advantages of each of these types of pumps. The author includes a detailed set of tables and figures to illustrate the performance and capabilities of different pump configurations and sizes. The book concludes with discussions of advanced high-duty pumping systems, the challenges of moving viscous liquids, and the future of pumping technology to provide a holistic view of this important field.
