Pipeline Pumping and Compression Systems: A Practical Approach

Pipeline Pumping and Compression Systems : A Practical Approach

Buch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The technology of pipeline pumping and compression continues to change, so we decidedthat it was worthwhile to again spend the time and effort to produce this third edition.In the end, the improvements turned out to be substantial, which makes us grateful to againshare our knowledge and experience and that of the industry at large. The reader will find awide range of topics that are both practical in nature and ones that delve more deeply intothe science and engineering basis behind pumping and compression processes.One of the drivers for this edition was its use as the textbook by one of the authors(Tom) for a graduate course in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Calgary calledPipeline Pump and Compressor Stations, a part of the Pipeline Engineering Center. In particulara number of additions were made to enhance the content for this course.There are no new chapters this time but significant additions include updated informationon the pipeline industry, pipeline safety, contamination between batches, designof terminals, booster pumps, pump station design, monitoring of centrifugal compressordegradation, equations of state for gas mixtures, gas turbine auxiliary systems, cold vs.hot recycle surge protection, PSV instability, integrally geared compressors, pulsation andvibration control for reciprocating compressors, damping of mechanically resonant systemstransient analysis of liquid pipeline systems, a more comprehensive introduction toenvironmental issues and many more topics. We must admit to removing some sectionsrelated to gas and liquid hydraulics since these topics are already well covered in a similarpublication from ASME, Pipeline Design and Construction A Practical Approach, as wellas other industry publications. This enabled the addition of other, more relevant advancesin this area. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780791861783
