PIPE FLOW A Practical and Comprehensive Guide

Advertisement

Overview of Book :

This book provides practical and comprehensive information on the subject of pressure drop and other phenomena in fluid flow in pipes.The importance of  piping systems in distribution systems, in industrial operations, and in modern power plants justifies a book devoted exclusively to this subject.The emphasis is on flow in piping components and piping systems where greatest benefit will derive from accurate prediction of pressure loss.

Moreover,textbooks present very little loss coefficient data, and those that are given are desperately out of date. Elsewhere, experimental data and published formulas for loss coefficients have provided results that are in considerable disagreement. Into the bargain,researchers have not accounted for all possible flow configurations and their results are not always presented in a readily useful form.This book addresses and fixes  these deficiencies.
