Overview

Much of the literature describing the flow of industrial fluids takes either a highly theoretical approach of little practical value or highly practical one that is too simplified to impart a thorough understanding. This book takes a novel approach that bridges the gap between theory and practice. In a uniquely structured series of chapters and appendices, it presents the basic theory and equations of fluid flow in a logical, common-sense manner with just the right amount of detail and discussion. Detailed derivations and explanations are relegated to chapter-specific appendices, making both aspects easier to access. The treatment is further organized to address incompressible flow before compressible flow, allowing the more complex theory and associated equations to build on the less complex. The measurement and control of fluid flow requires a firm understanding of flow phenomena. Engineer or technician, student or professional, if you have to deal with industrial flow processes, pumps, turbines, ejectors, or piping systems, you will find that Flow of Industrial Fluids: Theory and Equations effectively links theory to practice and builds the kind of insight you need to solve real-world problems. Features * Bridges and complements the highly theoretical and equipment-focused treatments found in the technical literature * Contains more than 60 illustrations that provide a graphical representation of data and ideas * Includes more than 20 tables that provide fast access to precise data * Contains caveats scattered throughout the text that highlight topics important to avoiding bad habits or poor assumptions Mulley; Raymond ISA, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA,
