Features:

• Includes an overview of freight transportation pipelines
• Highlights equations needed for the analysis of various types of pipe flows
• Covers timely subjects such as trenchless technologies, pipeline integrity monitoring, risk-based management, and pipeline renovation, protection, safety and security
• Explains concepts and tools involved in instrumentation and pigging, including flow meters, manometers, pressure sensors, velocity and vibration sensors, and pig and capsule sensors
• Summarizes types and components of pumps and turbines, with a focus on energy conversions as well as equipment selection, control, efficiency, and operation

Pipeline Engineering covers the essential aspects and types of pipeline engineering in a single volume.

This work is divided into two parts. Part I: Pipe Flows, delivers an integrated treatment of all variants of pipe flow including incompressible and compressible, Newtonian and non-Newtonian, slurry and multiphase flows, capsule flows, and pneumatic transport of solids. Part II: Engineering Considerations, summarizes the equipment and methods required for successful planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of pipelines.

By addressing the fundamentals of pipeline engineering-concepts, theories, equations, and facts-this groundbreaking text identifies the cornerstones of the discipline, providing engineers with a springboard to success in the field. It is a must-read for all pipeline engineers.
