Internal Flow Systems

Fluid flows are a fundamental part of many processes found in the chemical, oil and gas, manufacturing , process and water industries. Accurate prediction of internal flows is essential for the efficiency, reliability and safety of industrial plant, road vehicles, ships and aircraft. INTERNAL FLOW SYSTEMS contains the best available information for the design and performance prediction of equipment in pipe and duct systems, ranging from central heating to hydro-electric power schemes, from automobile ventilation to emergency relief systems in process plant. Since its publication in 1978, INTERNAL FLOW SYSTEMS has become the standard reference for engineers; the data and procedures described having been adopted worldwide by many companies as an essential part of their design and analysis methods. In this new, completely revised second edition, the text has been thoroughly updated, two new chapters added (on Design Management and Compressible Flows) and the classification of data has been improved. In addition, a number of important loss coefficients have been revised in the light of new experimental data. The text layout has been altered for ease of use, although reference is made to features in the first edition for continuity, and contains copious notes and references for further reading, as well as a full subject index. This book has no equivalent in terms of coverage, accuracy or ease of use, and will be essential reading for practitioners, researchers, lecturers and students of offshore, civil, process, manufacturing, power and water engineering.
