Single User, 2003
$350.00

A comprehensive six module course in centrifugal pump technology: Centrifugal Pumps: Fundamentals, Design and Applications has been developed exclusively for pump users, manufacturers, contractors, specifiers, and others who work with pumps and pumping systems. The complete six module CD-ROM course will provide a fundamental knowledge of applications, types of pumps and their construction, fundamentals of fluid mechanics, pump performance characteristics, and pump selection and application. A basic knowledge of machines and physics is required. Learn more: Course Overview.

The module pages are richly illustrated with pump graphics, animations, cutaways, curves, drawing, equations, examples and specification tools. Students can see liquid flow through typical diffuser types, watch centrifugal pumps in operation, see the motion of impellers and view animated footage of cavitation. In addition, students can interact with clickable cutaway drawings to see enlargements of small components and clearly identify key operating elements of various pump types. Throughout the course, exercises and pre- and post-tests (except Module 1) help the learner gauge his/her progress.
