LiquidPipelineHydraulics-Volume 1

This book on liquid pipeline hydraulics deals with the transportation of liquids through pipelines in a single phase, steady state flow. It is a practical handbook for students, engineers, managers, technicians and operators of water pipelines, crude oil, refined products and other single phase liquid pipelines. Using minimal math, the reader can apply the principles of hydraulics to the solution of pipeline problems, involving centrifugal pumps, and analyze the
strength design of pipelines,such as allowable internal pressure and hydrostatic test pressures. The basic equations necessary for calculations are presented and applications illustrated using several solved example problems. This second edition of Liquid Pipeline Hydraulics in electronic format is released in two volumes. Volume 1 covers liquid properties, pressure drop due to friction, pipe strength analysis, pumping pressure and power required and the analysis of multi-pump station pipelines. The book includes extensive revisions from the previous edition and additional examples of real world pipeline problems. Practice problems with answers are also included. Appendices include several charts, tables and a summary of all equations used in a convenient format.References for further study are included as well.
