Axial & Centrifugal Pumps Design Self-Paced Video Course

The course aims to provide in-depth understanding of the principles involved in hydraulic pumps design. In addition to that, the course also highlights the key aspects of a pumping station as a whole. This comprehensive course program includes several hours of videos featuring software demonstrations and explanations related to the design, analysis and optimization of both axial and radial (centrifugal) as well as mixed-flow pumps.

The goal of this self-paced course is to enable the attendee to understand the main parameters involved in efficient design and optimization of hydraulic pumps. Discussion, of the issues related to pump operation with the mechanisms responsible for the same, is provided and the remedies are explained thoroughly.

This course is broken down into different sections and chapters with quizzes at the end of each video (about 30 minutes each) to ensure the knowledge presented has been understood, retained and can be effectively applied to engineering challenges.
