ENGT 234 - Pump Applications

Description:ENGT 234 covers the operation of dynamic and positive displacement pumps. Discussion of positive displacement pumps will focus on those types not covered in the industrial fluid power courses. Pump theory will be discussed in detail to provide students with skills to troubleshoot and evaluate pump systems. Course topics include pump classification, head calculations, specific speed, pump curves, fluid viscosity, net positive suction head, cavitation, pump corrosion, seals, packings, series pump systems, and parallel pump systems. Students will use hands-on exercises to investigate centrifugal pumps, diaphragm pumps, and peristaltic pumps.
