The 750 pages of the book (in 3 volumes) cover essentially all conceivable aspects of pumps - hydraulics, bearings, lubrication, mechanical seals and packings, cavitation, materials of construction, alignment, vibrations, energy, and efficiency improvement methods, reliability concerns, and solutions, repairs and upgrades, culminating with a "MacGyver Specials" section reflecting on the real-life balance between the theoretical approach to solutions and a practical "just-fix-it-now" attitude.The book will be a great asset to both young engineers starting their career in the industry, as well as to the old-timers who will find many practical cases described in the book familiar and reflective of their own experiences. Maintenance and operating personnel of the water and wastewater plants, power stations, paper mills, chemical plants, and other industries, will find advice and suggestions on how to handle various problems they encounter with pumps in their daily work. The book should be a valuable addition to anyone's collection, to add some sense, humor, to relate their own life experiences, and to take difficulties and problems with a sense of patience, wisdom, keeping in mind that "vanity... all is vanity". Enjoy!

Centrifugal and Rotary Pumps offers both professionals and students a concise reference detailing the design, performance, and principles of operation of the different pumps types defined by the Hydraulic Institute. From historical background to the latest trends and technological developments, the author focuses on information with real-world practicality and techniques readers can implement immediately. After the fundamentals, the text shifts to real field cases that address applications, pumpage, system interaction, reliability, failure analysis, and practical solutions. The author includes specification parameters and criteria for the application of a variety of pumps.
