Introduction to Practical Fluid Flow

Introduction to Practical Fluid Flow provides information on the the solution of practical fluid flow and fluid transportation problems through the application of fluid dynamics.

Emphasising the solution of practical operating and design problems, the text concentrates on computer-based methods throughout, in keeping with trends in engineering. With a focus on the flow of slurries and non-Newtonian fluids, it will be useful for and engineering students who have to deal with practical fluid flow problems.

"This book can be used as a text for either an undergraduate or graduate school course for students in chemical, metallurgical, civil and mining engineering curricula. It is also very useful for engineers who have to deal with the flow and handling of slurries.This fluid mechanics textbook is somewhat different from other such books in that it focuses primarily on the transportation and handling of incompressible fluids, both Newtonian and non-Newtonian, and suspensions of solid particles in liquids that form slurries or pastes. A novel feature of this book is the unified treatment of the friction factor."—Chemical Engineering 2004
