DESCRIPTION:
"Authors review" according to Shashi Menon. This book covers liquid pipeline hydraulics as it applies to transportation of liquids through pipelines in a single phase steady state environment. It will serve as a practical handbook for engineers, technicians and others involved in design and operation of pipelines transporting liquids. Currently, existing books on the subject are mathematically rigorous, theoretical and lack practical applications. Using this book, engineers can better understand and apply the principles of hydraulics to their daily work in the pipeline industry without resorting to complicated formulas and theorems. Numerous examples . "A good practical book" according to Grandpa. Pipeline transportation of liquids (even solids for that matter) has assumed unprecedented importance today owing to the increase in volumes of transport and distances along with inflation and escalating costs. An easy to refer document that helps pipeline transportation industry is desirable and the "Liquid Pipeline Hydraulics" book serves this purpose. Fluid mechanics for a field engineer is what Mr. Menon has provided in this book with examples to help field applications. I hope pipeline engineers, particularly in the field will find this book a valuable addition to their reference folder.
Avoiding lengthy mathematical discussions, this reference specifically addresses issues affecting the day-to-day practices of those who design, operate, and purchase liquid pipelines in the oil, water, and process industries. Liquid Pipeline Hydraulics supplies an abundance of practical examples and applications for an in-depth understanding of liquid properties, as well as the layout, assessment, and enhancement of effective pipeline systems.The most valuable and reader-friendly reference available for engineers concerned with the optimization of liquid transportation through pipelines
