An in-depth understanding of the theory and application of fluid flow is critical to every field of engineering, particularly civil, mechanical, and chemical. Fluid Flow Handbook provides a resource unlike any other currently available to the field.

Blending theoretical review and engineering practicality, Fluid Flow Handbook is well-illustrated, and completely up-to-date, giving a balanced, detailed, and extensive treatment of pumps, pipes and piping systems, hydraulics, and hydrology.

Key Features:

• Discussions of issues critical to civil engineers, including flow in open channel, flow meters in rivers, and discharge from hydraulic structures
• Integration between physical properties, thermodynamics and heat transfer into fluid flow analysis
• Numerous applications from petroleum distribution, piping flow, valves, and other fittings
• Equations, charts, tables, solution steps, and computer programs to facilitate step-by-step calculation
• Practical examples, followed by short and precise theoretical explanations
• Other areas: nano/micro flow, flow assurance, molecular flow, Biofluid flow, etc.
