I found this book to be well written, informative and well organized. The book seems to stand alone as a practical concise reference. There was a well developed theoretical section and several practical design sections.

Since there are many more engineering studies performed than actual slurry projects, I would have liked to see more practical examples developed on line sizing and project costing.

An update to the book should include some of the many engineering references available on the internet......

The book is well worth the price....buy it.....!!!

Abulnaga in "Slurry Systems Handbook" takes a relatively dry topic and makes it surprisingly readable. The key points of dozens of scholarly articles are both presented and reviewed, and the relative merits of each are discussed. Worked out examples with units in both metric and english units, and computer programing suggestions make this compendium both useful and clear. Items that have been especially unclear in the literature, or ones that have been or are likely to be misinterpreted, have been highlighted and explained. A good effort!

A weakness is the Index. For instance, although ASME codes are listed as a key topic on the book cover, it requires searching to find the discussion in section 11-12 "codes and standards for slurry pipelines", page 11.27

I have found a large number of typographical and math errors in this book. Although for the most part, the book is informative about the formulas, there are a number of formulas that are incorrect. Fortunately you can find the original citations to get the correct equations. I recommend you do the example problems, to verify the formulas.

It is not bad book but I found little practice with too much theory and without enough practice examples

it is perfect for me, i am working in a big alumina plant and i need to check ever the pipelines parametres....

it is very very good
