Mechanical engineers entering industry often have little practical experience of pumps and their problems, and need to build up an understanding of the design, operation and appropriate use of pumps, plus how to diagnose faults and put them right. This book tackles all these aspects in a readable manner, drawing on the authors' long experience of lecturing and writing on centrifugal pumps for industrial audiencesElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsCentrifugal pumpsPompes centrifugesElectronic books.localCustodio, Angel Antonio,1947-Original18561740939781856174091(DLC) 2003284380(OCoLC)52566376Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781856174091An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationPublisher descriptionhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0615/2003284380-d.htmlTable of contents onlyhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0615/2003284380-t.html.b1365188203-03-2224-01-08991003227959707536Know and understand centrifugal pumps3370235UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engenk00
