The energy consumption in pumping systems accounts for approximately 20% of the world's electrical energy demand. Currently, engineers are striving for optimum equipment performance for achieving economic operation. A thorough understanding of the components and principles of operation of these machines provides an opportunity to dramatically reduce energy, operational and maintenance costs. Reducing energy consumption complements the current international thrust towards protecting our environment. Pumping Machinery Theory and Practice is an introductory reference covering the theoretical foundation and applications of various types of pumping machinery. It presents the fundamental concepts underlying the flow processes in these machines and the transformation of mechanical energy into fluid power. Special emphasis is given to basic theoretical formulation and design considerations in addition to improving problem solving skills. This is achieved through the presentation of many solved examples of applied nature. The book concentrates on two main areas: first is an introduction to the essential terminology, basic principles, design considerations and operational-type problems, and the second focuses on advanced topics such as two-phase flow pumping systems. Key features: - Comprehensively covers the theoretical foundation and applications of pumping machinery - Covers characteristics of centrifugal pumps, axial flow pumps and displacement pumps - Considers pumping machinery performance and operational-type problems - Covers advanced topics in pumping machinery including multiphase flow principles, and two and three-phase flow pumping systems - Covers different methods of flow rate control and relevance to machine efficiency and energy consumption - Includes solved examples and end of chapter exercises Pumping Machinery Theory and Practice is a comprehensive reference for researchers and practitioners in industry, and for undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical, automotive, aerospace, marine and power engineering.

Hassan M. Badr is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM). He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Western Ontario, Canada in 1977. Dr. Badr has taught many undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, and Pumping Machinery. He has carried out many research projects funded by the industry in the areas of erosion, boiler thermal analysis, submersible pumps, thermal pollution, oxyfuel combustion and others. Dr. Badr has published about 100 papers in international journals (J. Fluid Mechanics, ASME J. Fluids Engineering, ASME J. Heat Transfer, Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer and others) covering a wide range of topics. He was the mechanical engineering Editor of the Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering for 18 years. Currently, he is a thrust leader in the Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technology Innovation Center at KFUPM. He received the KFUPM Distinguished Researcher Award, Academic Advisor Award, Distinguished Instructor Award and the Funded Research Projects Award. Wael Ahmed received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 2005. He has four years of industrial experience with Atomic of Energy of Canada Ltd., and Nuclear Safety Solution before joining King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia in 2009. He is currently working as an associate professor at University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. During four years in the industry, he provided technical consultation to several Canadian power generation plants (OPG, Hydro-Quebec, Bruce Power, etc.) in the area of multiphase flow and flow accelerated corrosion. He is also active in research in fields related to multiphase flow and sustainable energy systems. Dr. Ahmed has authored or co-authored more than 50 papers that have appeared in various international journals and conference proceedings in addition to several technical reports, patents and two books in the area of thermo-fluids science.
