Description
Contents
A concise guide for chemical process engineers, plant engineers, and mechanical machinery engineers for selecting pumps and compressors via included computer simulation programs.
Centrifugal Compressor and Pump Selection enables chemical process and mechanical machinery engineers to establish the type, leading design features, and performance of suitable compressors or pumps to satisfy specific process requirements. Downloadable Excel/Visual Basic open-source programs are included in this practical resource.
Divided into two distinct parts: The Selection of Centrifugal Compressors; and The Selection of Centrifugal Pumps
Theories, algorithms, and methods employed in selection criteria
Excel/Visual Basic open-source simulation programs aid in the selection of pumps and compressors under selectable parameters
Provides means to confirm and validate a vendor’s prediction of performance, as well as a clearer understanding of how the vendor arrived at predicted performance
Appendix of Drivers for Compressors and Pumps
