Industrial facilities rely on pumps to keep critical processes running smoothly. When excessive vibration develops, however, pump performance can deteriorate rapidly, leading to increased maintenance…
When designing a rotodynamic pump system, the performance of both upstream (suction) and downstream (discharge) piping plays a crucial role in assuring the pump operates…
In 250 BCE, Ancient Greeks and Romans used a device called the Archimedes screw: the first water pump, which was shaped as a giant screw…
Head—the height at which a pump can raise water up vertically through a discharge pipe or tube—is an important factor in determining the overall performance…
During the continuous operation of a rotodynamic pump, a kinetic machine in which energy is imparted to pumped fluid by the means of a rotating…
