This book introduces the reader to the field of compressible turbulence and compressible turbulent flows across a broad speed range through a unique complimentary treatment of both the theoretical foundations and the measurement and analysis tools currently used. For the computation of turbulent compressible flows, current methods of averaging and filtering are presented so that the reader is exposed to a consistent development of applicable equation sets for both the mean or resolved fields as well as the transport equations for the turbulent stress field. For the measurement of turbulent compressible flows, current techniques ranging from hot-wire anemometry to PIV are evaluated and limita...
This book is a comprehensive treatment of the elastic volumetric response of sandstones to variations in stress. The theory and data presented apply to the deformations that occur, for example, due to withdrawal of fluid from a reservoir, or due to the redistribution of stresses caused by the drilling of a borehole. Although the emphasis is on reservoir-type sandstones, results and methods discussed are also applicable to other porous rocks.Part One concerns the effect of stress on deformation and discusses porous rock compressibility coefficients. Elasticity theory is used to derive relationships between the porous rock compressibility coefficients, the porosity, and the mineral grain compr...

The laws of thermodynamics the science that deals with energy and its transformation have wide applicability in several branches of engineering and science. The revised edition of this introductory text for undergraduate engineering courses covers the physical concepts of thermodynamics and demonstrates the underlying principles through practical situations. The traditional classical (macroscopic) approach is used in this text. Numerous solved examples and more than 550 unsolved problems (included as chapter-end exercises) will help the reader gain confidence for applying the principles of thermodynamics in real-life problems. Sufficient data needed for solving problems have been included in the appendices.
Provides working engineers with a quick reference. An extensive theory section highlights several kinds of flow with applications, thermodynamics, thermophysical properties, surface pressures and shock. Tables and data on compressible flow are also included.
Excerpt from New Method for Determining Compressibility Other trials, with a wider tube and with the bulb in the lower envel ope, diminished the error due to the adhesion of bromine. Thus the percentage change of volume for pressures of 50, 100, and 150 kilo grams per square centimeter respectively were found to be and per cent. For bromine, and and per cent. For mercury respectively. These data lead to the following values of the compressibility of bromine - from 0 to 50 atmospheres, from 50 to 100 atmospheres, and from 100 to 150 atmospheres, The temperature was 17 C. As will be seen later, these values are not far from the true ones; and they are consistent enough to show a steady decreas...
