Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hydraulics For Pipeliners, Volume 1:: Fundamentals, Second Edition (Hardcover)
The book should be purchased by every pipeline engineer that has to perform liquid hydraulics. It is a good source for information and equations covering fluid density, viscosity, vapor pressure, specific heat, basic heat transfer and changes of viscosity with pressure, etc. The book may be a bit dated, but I have not found a better source for this type of information. I think the writer may have intended to release a newer version with additional information, but I suspect he may have retired or passed away.
