Excerpt from Hydraulics of Pipe LinesChapter I presents briefly the elementary principles relating to pipe line flow with some special emphasis on the subjects of pipe friction and secondary losses due to miscellaneous turbulence. Special attention may also, perhaps, be directed to the series of relations and expressions in Section 11 and to the treatment of network systems in Section 21.Chapter II presents the subject of surge, not with analytical detail but in such manner as to place before the engineer a variety of means for dealing with this important problem. Attention may be directed to the special application of the principles of similitude as applied to this problem, thus bringing it within the range of laboratory investigation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
