Description
Volume 2 of this two-part guidebook compiles practical, how-to engineering articles originally published in Chemical Engineering, along with useful tip sheets. The content provides in-depth engineering guidance on many aspects of piping design, installation, operation, and maintenance.
Coverage includes fluid dynamics calculations for compressible flow, isothermal flow, and pipe-flow friction factors. Additional topics span materials of construction — from steel to polymers — as well as best practices for operating piping systems in extreme low temperatures, pigging pipelines, and designing chemical-injection systems. Bonus sections offer guidance on project management and cost estimation for CPI projects.
