Basic Pump Fundamentals: Pump 101

Pump 101 is a basic overview of pumps and pumping theory. The course is designed to review the basic pump designs or classifications and many of their applications on where they are used. We also cover the properties of fluids and the influence of pump choice and performance. This class is designed as an introductory for many topics such as the concepts of flow and pressure, viscosity, pump construction, cavitation, NPSH and an introduction to pump performance curves.
