Centrifugal Pumps: Their Design and Construction (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Centrifugal Pumps: Their Design and Construction<br><br>An examination of centrifugal pump literature published in the English language yields little information of value to those interested in this subject. The initial development and introduction of high pressure centrifugal pumps were due to the energy and enterprise of European engineers as was the case in the development of the steam turbine. It is quite natural therefore that the best literature upon this subject is published abroad although even there we find few complete and satisfactory works the information as a rule being distributed in the technical magazines.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
