Hydraulic Designs of Pipelines, Intakes and Outlets

Pipelines are essential facilities for the transportation of fluids in various industries. This book addresses hydraulic design considerations of integrated pipeline systems, including intakes, conduits, and outlets.

Based on the author’s experience of over 50 years working with hydraulic designs of structures as well as designs, analyses and troubleshooting of pipeline systems, the book discusses actual design practice and presents a range of real-world examples of projects conducted and participated in by the author. This applied approach gives the book a uniquely practical focus.

Hydraulic Designs of Pipelines, Intakes and Outlets serves as a reference for practitioners as well as a textbook for postgraduate students.
