Pipeline engineering

In a single volume, this book covers both the essential aspects of pipeline engineering and the different types of pipeline engineering. It provides an integrated treatment of all types of pipe flow, including incompressible and compressible, Newtonian and non-Newtonian, slurry and multi-phase flows, capsule flows, and pneumatic transport of solids through pipes. All the subjects covered are treated in a systematic and heuristic manner, making them easy to understand and remember. The book's many examples and homework problems make it suitable for use either as a college textbook or as a manual for self-learning.
