Progressing Cavity Pumps (Digital Edition)Edited by Shauna Noonan
The purpose of this collection of 12 papers is to introduce the subject of progressing cavity pumps to engineers interested in gaining a basic overview of the technology and its applications. It is intended not to offer a comprehensive look at the topic but, rather, to provide the reader with enough knowledge to allow for more advanced study or work in the field.
