Hydraulics of Pipeline Systems

by Bruce E. Larock, Roland W. Jeppson, Gary Z. Watters

Overview

The first of its kind, this modern, comprehensive text covers both analysis and design of piping systems. The authors begin with a review of basic hydraulic principles, with emphasis on their use in pumped pipelines, manifolds, and the analysis and design of large pipe networks. After the reader obtains an understanding of how these principles are implemented in computer solutions for steady state problems, the focus then turns to unsteady hydraulics. These are covered at three levels:

Editorial Reviews

A book/CD-ROM text covering both the analysis and design of piping systems. Begins with a review of basic hydraulic principles, with emphasis on pumped pipelines, manifolds, and the analysis and design of large pipe networks. Later material focuses on unsteady hydraulics, covered at the levels of quasi-steady solutions, systems of equations that describe time-dependent flows and pressure in large networks, and true transient analyses. Includes worked examples, chapter problems, and selected answers. The CD-ROM contains Fortran and C programs and TK-Solver models. Assumes familiarity with either Fortran or C as a programming language. Can be used as a text for senior and graduate students in engineering. The author is affiliated with the University of California-Davis. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
