Hydraulics of Pipelines: Pumps, Valves, Cavitation, Transients

By J. Paul Tullis

All hydraulic aspects of pipeline design are addressed in this comprehensive text/reference work. It incorporates many real-life examples from the author's experience in the design and operation of pipelines. Topics covered include basic equations necessary to pipeline design, how to conduct a feasibility study and perform economic analysis, design considerations for pumps and valves, how to suppress cavitation, hydraulic transients, trapped air, and methods of numerical solution of governing equations (including applications to complex piping systems). Twenty-five tables are included for easy reference, and the book is extensively illustrated.
