"Design of Mixed-Flow Pumps and Fans, 2nd Edition" by M. A. Zaher, Ph.D.
In “Design of Mixed-Flow Pumps and Fans, 2nd Edition” (ISBN 1475003048), M. A. Zaher, Ph.D., draws on the latest research in fluid mechanics to explain the design principles of mixed-flow pumps and fans. This technical guide will appeal to water and electrical engineers who need to understand the foundations and application of impeller design.
Despite the considerable visual difference between a fan and a pump, both perform a similar function. They also feature a geometrically similar passage through which fluids and air can pass. Both are actually considered fluid machines because of their qualities that permit continuous energy transfer. Zaher’s book treats the characteristics of real fluids, examines the properties of impellers and guides the reader through understanding cavitation in pumps. He also discusses control of fans and the underpinnings of fan group operation.
The book walks students through the task of calculating fan characteristics, using different models for ascertaining both radial and axial fans as well as pumps. He discusses the operation of mixed-flow machines, which utilize qualities of both radial and axial design.
This up-to-date book includes several new methods of impeller design and the latest information on new systems designed to suppress cavitation during the pumping process. For engineers who have to work with fans extensively, he provides advice on blade erosion and controlling machine noise. The guide is based on Zaher’s decades of experience, both as an academic engineer and as a consultant for water and electric companies.
Detailed, exhaustive and full of figures and equations to support its assertions, “Design of Mixed-Flow Pumps and Fans” will be essential reading to any engineer concerned with the good design of fluid in-flow through impeller and flow through guide vanes.
“Design of Mixed-Flow Pumps and Fans, 2nd Edition” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
About the Author: M. A. Zaher, Ph.D., brings several decades of experience on his subject. He holds both a master’s degree in mechanical engineering and a doctorate in fluid engineering from the Technical University of Lodz-Poland. His experience combines on-the-job practical experience as a technical consultant for Qatar’s electricity and water corporation as well as academic bona fides, having lectured on hydraulics, pumps and turbines at the Institute of Technology in Auckland, New Zealand.

There is nothing more frustrating than when your rinsing the shampoo from your hair suds get in your eyes, then the water stops all of a sudden.
But then 15 seconds later it kicks back on again.
Your are on egg shells because your not sure if the next time you’ll be so lucky.
We typically check the simplest things first to make sure its not a well pump issue, but if it is, check to make sure that the instillation is backed by a warranty. Make sure it’s sized correctly, by measuring the old removed pump not only for depth but check the heigh and width to ensure it will fit. Then determine the static water level for your well. After determining the well pump size (horsepower and gallons per minute) needed. then make sure you understand what the plumber will do in detail, and what the price is to finish the well pump replacement.
