INTRODUCTION
The aim of this article is not to deal with all the mechanical problems that the pump designer will have to solve, and which most often fall within the general framework of mechanics, but to examine problems that are specific or peculiar to pumps, most of which are linked to the very high density of the fluid conveyed.
The article "Rotodynamic pumps" is the subject of several booklets:
Presentation. Description
Operation
Pump project
[B 4 306] Special mechanical problems
Operations
The subjects are not independent of each other. Readers will often need to refer to other articles.
