Everything about hydraulic pump

Everything about hydraulic pump

Everything about hydraulic pump

(OP)
Hello everybody. I need to learn everything possible about hydraulic pumps. Do you know good sites where I can find tips? Thanks for while.

RE: Everything about hydraulic pump

Flavio:

If you want to need to learn everything possible about hydraulic pumps, lots of luck.  I've known people who wrote books about pumps - and most died still learning about pumps.  But if you want to start learning and need a good source, go to:

http://www.mcnallyinstitute.com/index.html

This will get you started and should keep you busy for the rest of this year.  There's a lot of material; and the more you read, the more you find out about what you haven't learned yet.  But that's a normal experience in engineering.

RE: Everything about hydraulic pump

If I understood your question correctly, you are interested in hydraulic rams aka hydraulic pumps, mostly treated in civil and mechanical engineering courses.

These are devices by which a small portion of a flowing liquid is lifted by the kinetic energy (velocity head) of a larger portion, upon decelerating the flow, in what is generally known as a hydraulic jump, similar to the behaviour of a liquid flowing in a pipe at a sudden enlargement.

A Google search will certainly provide you with plenty of information. You will be learning a lot about Reynolds and Froude numbers, liquid flow in pipes and open channels, etc.

For a start, and as an initial tutorial, you may visit:


For a first course in fluid mechanics you may also read the relevant chapters in Fluid Flow by Sabersky and Acosta, from the Mc Millan Series in Mechanical Engineering, and probably also those in Theory and Problems from the Schaum series on Mechanics of Fluids and Hydraulics, McGraw-Hill.

Kindly confirm that this is indeed the subject of your query.

It is never too late to learn even more about pumps.  Uncle Syd just proved this adage as correct and eternal.

I thought the  Audel books were never printed again after I bought mine in 1960.  I'm glad to see they are still around.  This was a real winner as far as teaching the mechanical (and analytical) details about pumps.  I highly recommend you chase this valuable tip up.
