Features: This textbook emphasizes the systematic, comprehensive, and practical aspects of the fundamental theories in the field of pumps, reflecting and embodying the current development direction and achievements of the discipline. Combined with teaching and practical work needs, the textbook has unique arrangements and writing styles in its chapters: ① Clearly separates the concepts of pump characteristics and the characteristics of their devices while organically integrating their intrinsic connections, making the content concise and easy to understand. ② Particularly emphasizes the real values at the pump's inlet during operation and the concept of allowable suction lift (ASL), as well as the concepts of various net positive suction head (NPSH) values. ③ Presents the content on pump unit selection and matching in a more systematic and engineering-actual manner. ④ Provides a well-organized and clearly structured classification of various pump stations.
The textbook is divided into two main parts—pumps and pump stations—with a total of 8 chapters. The main content includes the classification, working principles, construction, and applications of pumps, as well as the classification, types, and unit selection of pump stations, the design and calculation of pump station structures and pipeline systems, etc. The textbook also includes relevant content on axial-flow pump stations. Each chapter is supplemented with a sufficient number of exercises, including some comprehensive application problems, to help readers gain a deeper understanding of the material.
This textbook is not only suitable as a teaching material for water supply and drainage engineering majors in higher education institutions but also serves as a key reference for majors such as water conservancy engineering. Its content is also suitable for use by engineering technicians.
