Please share some books to learn line sizing and Hydraulic flow calculation for process Engineers

[breizh]

Hi ,

 

 

 

Get a copy of Flows of Fluids through valves, fittings and piping  by Crane technical paper 410M

good luck

Breizh

Thank you Sir

Hi,

Another good one: Pipe Flow a practical and comprehensive guide by Donald C.Rennels and Hobart M.Hudson

 

To me you should also consider the search engine in this forum , in particular  all support given by Katmar.

Katmar is also the author of nice software dealing with Fluid dynamic and unit conversion which should be part of chemical engineers' tool box.

note :  katmarsoftware.com is providing a list of software with nice description .

 

Hope this is helping you and others.

Muthu:

 

When you mention the term "share some books", you actually mean that we should send you electronic versions of text books on Fluid Mechanics.  Isn't that correct?  We can advise you of books we have found to be helpful, but we can't give you an electronic copy of them.

 

I can assure you that our Forums will not participate with any distribution of copy righted text books.  However, if you want to learn all you can gather regarding Fluid Mechanics as it relates to fluid flow, then be candid and tell us so.  We can help you - just consider the valuable recommendations that an expert such as Breizh has freely given you.  The Crane Technical Paper No. 410 is considered the basic tool by those of us that have designed fluid flow through piping and even porous media.  This booklet was always given to young engineers as a free copy during the last 50 years of the last century.  You should be able to obtain a copy in India from your peers or some senior engineers.

 

I personally have literally hundreds of electronic copies of many outstanding and classical papers on the many subjects of Fluid Mechanics - most of them dealing with fluid flow through piping and porous media.  If you want help you must be specific and describe EXACTLY what fluid flow application(s) you desire information on and I would be glad to upload the related information here in this thread.  However, you must be specific and take into consideration that we experienced, older engineers have so much information that we can't justify uploading everything we have.  Our website server would be inundated.  You must take the time and make the effort to clearly describe in detail what your needs are and if we have the material, we can upload it for you and interested young engineers.  But YOU must do the work of giving us a correct and detailed definition of your needs.

 

Breizh has helped many, many young engineers with his expertise and copies of valuable and related documents in the past.  He, and other members - such as Katmar - can help you if you help them by fully describing your needs.  Don't use the word "share"; state outright the technical information you need.  If we can help you, we will.  Below find an example of material you can find in the internet.

Hi, 

 

Flow of Fluid i.e. Crane Handbook is the bible for learning line hydraulics.

 

Ludwig's Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants is also a good book covering all the topics required for a process engineer.

Hi ,

Consider this resource to understand pump and system .
