Positive Displacement Machines: Modern Design Innovations and Tools

Positive Displacement Machines: Modern Design Innovations and Tools explains the design and workings of a wide range of positive displacement pumps, compressors and gas expanders. Written at a mathematical and technical level, the book explores the most influential research in this field over the past decade, along with industry best practices. Sections highlight the importance of using the latest computation techniques and discuss how to follow the proper design procedures to achieve a desired outcome.

• Explains how these machines work on a fundamental level, helping the reader build a holistic understanding which aids complex problem- solving
• Describes how to mathematically model the performance of pumps, compressors and gas expanders
• Provides advice on how to design and optimize positive displacement machines to match a given application
