In your day-to-day planning, design, operation, and optimization of pipelines, wading through complex formulas and theories is not the way to get the job done. Gas Pipeline Hydraulics acts as a quick-reference guide to formulas, codes, and standards encountered in the gas industry. Based on the author's 30 years of experience in manufacturing and t
Pipeline Planning and Construction Field Manual aims to guide engineers and technicians in the processes of planning, designing, and construction of a pipeline system, as well as to provide the necessary tools for cost estimations, specifications, and field maintenance. The text includes understandable pipeline schematics, tables, and DIY checklists. This source is a collaborative work of a team of experts with over 180 years of combined experience throughout the United States and other countries in pipeline planning and construction. Comprised of 21 chapters, the book walks readers through the steps of pipeline construction and management. The comprehensive guide that this source provides e...
This book is a result of my deep concern for the brutal realities that our athletes face and realities that the public rarely hears about. I felt compelled to write this book because the conditions that our sportspeople endure defy not just the laws of sportsmanship, but the fundamental principles of human rights This book is my way of exposing these violations. The right to dignity, to fair treatment, to a life free from exploitation—these are rights that our athletes are denied . This book is also a tribute to those forgotten athletes—the ones who gave their all for the nation, only to be discarded when they could no longer compete at the highest level My hope is that this book will serve as a wake-up call, a rallying cry for change.
Cooling Towers and Chilled Water Systems: Design, Operation, and Economic Analysis is a guide to the design and operation of cooling systems within high temperature settings. The book presents various strategies to increase the turndown of cooling towers and chilled water systems and provides a toolkit for engineers to determine the use of variable frequency drivers. A guide to equipment selection for optimal design during the detailed engineering phase is provided, ensuring the reader is able to comply with the project specification within budget. Sections discuss various systems, circuits and processes for cooling tower and chiller systems before detailing design principles. Operational an...
Transmission Pipeline Calculations and Simulations Manual is a valuable time- and money-saving tool to quickly pinpoint the essential formulae, equations, and calculations needed for transmission pipeline routing and construction decisions. The manual's three-part treatment starts with gas and petroleum data tables, followed by self-contained chapters concerning applications. Case studies at the end of each chapter provide practical experience for problem solving. Topics in this book include pressure and temperature profile of natural gas pipelines, how to size pipelines for specified flow rate and pressure limitations, and calculating the locations and HP of compressor stations and pumping stations on long distance pipelines. - Case studies are based on the author's personal field experiences - Component to system level coverage - Save time and money designing pipe routes well - Design and verify piping systems before going to the field - Increase design accuracy and systems effectiveness
“Who are we really amidst the thoughts that flood our mind? Are we the thoughts, the voice in the head, or the thinker or neither and beyond?” Over centuries across different cultures, man has discussed the fundamental nature of being, and it is really overwhelming that contemporary science is coming to similar conclusions that were suggested by ancient perennial philosophies, mystics, and seers. The brooding east and its timeless reflection make enlightening revelations with contemporary science on ‘who’ we are really …
With increasingly sophisticated structures involved in modern engineering, knowledge of the complex vibration behavior of plates, shells, curved membranes, rings, and other complex structures is essential for today‘s engineering students, since the behavior is fundamentally different than that of simple structures such as rods and beams. Now in its
As the most important parts of rotating machinery, rotors are also the most prone to mechanical vibrations, which may lead to machine failure. Correction is only possible when proper and accurate diagnosis is obtained through understanding of rotor operation and all of the potential malfunctions that may occur. Mathematical modeling, in particular
