Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the findings of renowned engineer George T. Prince who provides a wealth of data relating to the Construction and Maintenance of Continuous Woodstave Pipe. The author, who was located in Denver, Colorado when the book was written, had served as Chief Engineer of The Denver Union Water Company. His extensive experience in the design and operation of public water systems informs his analysis of continuous wood -stave pipes, which were the primary method of water conveyance used to supply Denver at the time. Prince was deeply involved in the sizing and implementation of water pipelines for Denver's water supply, and was well aware of the need for a comprehensive guide to the design and maintenance of these essential structures. In this book, he shares his insights and expertise on a range of topics, including the flow of water in pipes, the evaluation of frictional resistance, and the impact of pipe diameter on flow capacity. He draws upon the work of prominent hydraulics experts, such as Chezy, Kutter, D'Arcy, and others, and provides valuable comparative data on the carrying capacities of pipes of various sizes and materials. Prince's work provides a valuable historical perspective on the development of water supply systems and remains a useful resource for engineers and water resource managers involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of water pipelines. It offers insights into the challenges and considerations faced by engineers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and highlights the importance of sound engineering principles in ensuring the efficient and reliable delivery of water to communities.
