Since the first edition was published, the application of centrifugal pumps has been extended to new fields. Ranges of head per stage, total pressure, temperature, speed, and size have moved to new high levels. This advancement presented new hydraulic, mechanical, metallurgical, and manufacturing problems. Considerable progress was achieved during the same period in the theoretical aspects and design procedure, based on a better understanding of the flow processes through the parts comprising a centrifugal pump. All these are dealt with in this second edition..

This book provides a comprehensive look at industrial compressors. Readers can find a great deal of information based on long industrial experience, on a clear and well-founded approach to real-gas handling, and on solutions to many practical problems. "Process Centrifugal Compressors" supplies engineering contractors and users of industrial compressors with a better insight into the "how" and "why" of different design features, thus providing a solid basis for dealing with manufacturers. It also reveals the limitations and requirements of practical applications and economics by casting light on the day-by-day design practice. By combining a mathematical approach with practical experience and many examples, it fills in the gap between academic textbooks and volumes, offering encyclopaedic descriptions of fluid flow machines.
