This comprehensive text/reference addresses all hydraulic aspects of pipeline design. 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). Includes twenty-five tables for easy reference. Extensively illustrated.

This review is from: Hydraulics of Pipelines: Pumps, Valves, Cavitation, Transients (Hardcover)
As an expert in pipelines design a recommend it very extensively because of the structure is is written and the wide range of the covered topics. The most comprehensive book in the field!

This review is from: Hydraulics of Pipelines: Pumps, Valves, Cavitation, Transients (Hardcover)
This text book is good for a brief overview of the topic. It is not in detail. I think a few more solved examples with detailed references to equation would have been good. I general I wouldn't say its one of the best texts I have used. To be honest it is not up to the mark but it isn't that bad either. in short it is slightly above average.
