An Introductory Guide to Industrial Flow (Introductory Guide Series (REP))

An Introductory Guide to Industrial Flow is aimed at the busy practising engineer who wishes to become familiar with the fundamentals of fluid mechanics as quickly and painlessly as possible. The essential ideas are presented in a clear and concise way, using straightforward mathematics, links with everyday observations, and some simple engineering calculations.
The chapters move from an introduction and discussion of basic measurements, through simple explanation of the essential equations of fluid mechanics and on to losses, boundary layers, and compressible flows. There are brief presentations of oscillations, open channel flows and multiphase flows including steam. The extremely powerful and rapidly progressing subject of computational methods provides a fitting conclusion to the book.
