Animations of mechanical devices. Here is a very good centrifugal pump animation https://youtu.be/WUal9LXc0iM; it shows a complete pump in section and how the fluid makes its way from the suction to the discharge; there is also a wonderful description of a browser animated demonstration of the Bernoulli principle, and it ends with a desription of how the liquid leaves the vanes and enters the casing.

Flow of Fluids The Crane Valve Group, the people who wrote the book on friction loss for fittings and manual valves, etc. (Tired of the copy of the copy of this manual), at this web site you can purchase the Crane Technical Paper No. 410 "Flow of fluids through valves, fittings and Pipe" and obtain a free demo program. The friction loss calculation software available on this site was made by Engineered Software.

The Cameron Hydraulic Data book originally published by Ingersoll Rand is now available at Flow Serve. This book is pretty amazing, it contains allot on information on fluids, valve coefficients (based on Crane valve data) and a multitude of information for the fluid handler. If you have been yearning for a copy, you can get it at Amazon.
