The Mechanics Of Pumping Machinery

The Mechanics of Pumping Machinery is a comprehensive textbook written by Julius Weisbach, originally published in 1897. The book is intended for technical schools and practical engineers who are interested in learning about the mechanics of pumping machinery. The book covers a wide range of topics related to pumping machinery, including the principles of hydrodynamics, the construction and design of pumps, the calculation of pump performance, and the selection and installation of pumps. The text is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of pumping machinery. The first section provides an introduction to the subject and introduces the basic principles of hydrodynamics. The second section covers the construction and design of pumps, including the different types of pumps and their components. The third section focuses on the calculation of pump performance, including the determination of head, discharge, and efficiency. The fourth section covers the selection and installation of pumps, including the factors that should be considered when choosing a pump and the proper installation techniques. Throughout the book, Weisbach provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts and principles being discussed. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and practicing engineers. Overall, The Mechanics of Pumping Machinery is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about the mechanics of pumps and pumping machinery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
