For all those involved in research and development on pump design and use, and students taking courses on turbomachinery, this book points the way to design, test, and run pumps and systems that are more effective, more economical, and more reliable. It provides a survey of basic principles of fluid mechanical design for incompressible fluids, followed by a comprehensive treatise on cavitation and unsteady flow and vibration in pumps.
