Flow handbook was exactly what I needed and it came quick........2005-09-28

I needed this book and I needed it in a hurry. It shipped within 24 hours and I received it in less than 24 hours after it shipped.

excelente.......2000-01-12

Todo instrumentista o ingeniero de proceso debe tener este libro. Siendo el flujo, una de las variables más comunes y más dificiles de controlar, debido a las distintas características que puede presentar, encontraran todo lo necesario en estas páginas, desde lo elemental y facil de entender hasta el desarrollo matemático de las formulas.

The Only You Will Ever Need on Flow Meters.......1998-06-13

Highly detailed in every way. Complete equations suitable for computer programming. In fact, Rosemount and other companies refer to this handbook exclusively. The index is the best way to use this book. As handbooks go, it is easy to use and an excellent compilation of vendor information as well as original R&D information. There are a few quarks in the equations for integral orifices, but the actual errors are negligable. I got improved equations from Rosemount. The only reason why I did not give 5 stars is that it takes some time to dig information from the handbook. It's all there, but, it takes time to digest it. You must have this book if you encounter instruments, particularly, flow metes, during your work. You must have this book!

Book Description

Over the past three decades, information in the aerospace and mechanical engineering fields in general and turbomachinery in particular has grown at an exponential rate. Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer of Turbomachinery is the first book, in one complete volume, to bring together the modern approaches and advances in the field, providing the most up-to-date, unified treatment available on basic principles, physical aspects of the aerothermal field, analysis, performance, theory, and computation of turbomachinery flow and heat transfer.

Presenting a unified approach to turbomachinery fluid dynamics and aerothermodynamics, the book concentrates on the fluid dynamic aspects of flows and thermodynamic considerations rather than on those related to materials, structure, or mechanical aspects. It covers the latest material and all types of turbomachinery used in modern-day aircraft, automotive, marine, spacecraft, power, and industrial applications; and there is an entire chapter devoted to modern approaches on computation of turbomachinery flow. An additional chapter on turbine cooling and heat transfer is unique for a turbomachinery book.

The author has undertaken a systematic approach, through more than three hundred illustrations, in developing the knowledge base. He uses analysis and data correlation in his discussion of most recent developments in this area, drawn from over nine hundred references and from research projects carried out by various organizations in the United States and abroad.

This book is extremely useful for anyone involved in the analysis, design, and testing of turbomachinery. For students, it can be used as a two-semester course of senior undergraduate or graduate study: the first semester dealing with the basic principles and analysis of turbomachinery, the second exploring three-dimensional viscid flows, computation, and heat transfer. Many sections are quite general and applicable to other areas in fluid dynamics and heat transfer. The book can also be used as a self-study guide to those who want to acquire this knowledge.

The ordered, meticulous, and unified approach of Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer of Turbomachinery should make the specialization of turbomachinery in aerospace and mechanical engineering much more accessible to students and professionals alike, in universities, industry, and government.

Turbomachinery theory, performance, and analysis made accessible with a new, unified approach

For the first time in nearly three decades, here is a completely up-to-date and unified approach to turbomachinery fluid dynamics and aerothermodynamics. Combining the latest advances, methods, and approaches in the field, Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer of Turbomachinery features:

The most comprehensive and complete coverage of the fluid dynamics and aerothermodynamics of turbomachinery to date
A spotlight on the fluid dynamic aspects of flows and the thermodynamic considerations for turbomachinery (rather than the structural or material aspects)
A detailed, step-by-step presentation of the analytical and computational models involved, which allows the reader to easily construct a flowchart from which to operate
Critical reviews of all the existing analytical and numerical models, highlighting the advantages and drawbacks of each
Comprehensive coverage of turbine cooling and heat transfer, a unique feature for a book on turbomachinery
An appendix of basic computation techniques, numerous tables, and listings of common terminology, abbreviations, and nomenclature

Book Description

This book offers to students, engineers, CFD modelers, and scientists a detailed synthetic presentation of turbulence physics and modeling with the possibility to find a quick route through the jungle of publications and models. Chapters 1 to 4 show that turbulence models may be derived and analyzed in a physically sound manner with their potential merits and drawbacks. Chapters 5 and 6 review the physics of (inhomogenous) turbulent flows starting from the most simple flow cases and adding more and more complexity. The status and uncertainties of available experimental data and the practical performance of currently available turbulent models are discussed.

Best All Around Practical Rheology Reference Book.......2002-03-14

Macosko has put together without a doubt the best practical rheology reference and the only one to include sufficient detail on rheometers. A bit heavy on the constitutive equations and tensors but you'll not be at a loss if you don't follow them. If you had the ability to purchase but one rheology reference, this should be it.

Excellent reference book.......2000-07-26

MacOsko has written an excellent *reference* book; don't pick this up as your first foray into the field of rheology. (I recommend Stephen Rosen's text for that job.) MacOsko provides a relatively pain-free introduction to tensors and then proceeds to apply tensor analysis to a variety of rheological topics. If your work doesn't require rigorous tensor analysis, or if you're new to the field, avoid the book. Otherwise it's a very comprehensive and readable reference.

Book Description

A best-seller since the introduction of the first edition in 1991, Flow Measurement, 2nd Edition, is the leading authority on all aspects of the field, from the most basic principles and tips to advanced theory and applications. Rather than relying on the inherent limitations of a single author, this resource provides readers with authoritative material from specialists in every flow measurement technology used in industry. For this new edition, over 30 authors have rewritten, updated, and expanded virtually every element of this comprehensive reference. Editors expanded the scope of the book by adding new chapters on laminar flow elements, critical flowmeters, statistics for measurement, laboratory primary standards, and uncertainty in flow measurement.

Beginning with chapters on the need for flow measurement, a brief history of the field, and physical properties of fluids, the text takes readers through basics such as the fundamentals of flow measurement, calibration, and installation and maintenance of flowmeters. Material in these early chapters emphasizes the importance of accuracy in measurements and ways of ensuring accuracy and avoiding equipment damage through correct forecast of operating conditions, flowmeter selection, installation, calibration, and maintenance. Fundamental considerations such as mixed-phase flow, piping effects, and flow conditioning are examined at length. The problem of attaining a meaningful flow signal through linearization, compensation, and totalization is also discussed.

The book dedicates a whole chapter to each major technology including differential pressure flowmeters, critical flowmeters, laminar flow elements, magnetic flowmeters, mass flowmeters, open channel flow measurement, oscillatory flowmeters, positive displacement flowmeters, target flowmeters, thermal mass flowmeters and controllers, tracer dilution measurement, turbine flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters, variable area flowmeters, insertion flow measurement, custody transfer measurement, and sanitary flowmeters. An additional six chapters provide in-depth reference material on other related aspects of flow measurement that include flowmeter selection, uncertainty in flow measurement, laboratory primary standards, flow measurement proficiency testing, industry standards, and flowmeter specifications.

This resource is an essential reference for control systems engineers, instrument designers, instrumentation technicians, calibration specialists, maintenance managers, technical sales representatives, training instructors, researchers, and anyone else who deals with flow measurement technology.

A good introductory reference on the fundamentals of Flow Measurement and Flowmeters Technology.......2006-07-09

This volume is part of the Practical Guides Series developed and published by ISA (formerly "The Instrument Society of America", later "The International Society for Measurement and Control" and now known as "The Instrument, Systems and Automation Society"). The Practical Guides were concived to bridge the gap between theory and actual practice, and the stress is placed on the actual experience of measurement and control practitioners.

I own this book, it's A good introductory reference on the fundamentals of Flow Measurement and Flowmeters Technology, presented in a practical language.

This book is organized as follows:
- Why measure flow.
- Historical perspective.
- Physical properties of fluids.
- Fundamentals of flow measurement.
- Linearization, compensation and totalization of flow signals.
- Field calibration.
- Installation and maintenance.
- Differential pressure flowmeters.
- Magnetic flowmeters.
- Mass flowmeters.
- Open channel flow measurement.
- Oscilatory flowmeters.
- Positive diplacement flowmeters for liquid measurement.
- Target flowmeters.
- Thermal mass flowmeters and controllers.
- Tracer dillution measurement of flow.
- Turbine flowmeters.
- Ultrasonic flowmeters.
- Variable area flowmeters.
- Insertion (sampling) flow measurement.
- Custody transfer measurement.
- Sanitary flowmeters.
- Flowmeter selection.
- Flow metrology: standards, calibrations, and traceabilities.
- Standards in flow measurement.
- Flowmeter specifications.

If you need more in-depth information, or if you specify, install, maintain and operate Flowmeters and other Process Variables Meters, you might also want to consider Bela Liptak's Instruments Engineer's Handbook Volume 1 - Process Measurement and Analysis.

I own both books and they excellent references and very useful in my job. I have been working for more than 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation, and Process Safety and Control Engineer for the Oil & Gas Industry.

Everything you need to know about flowmeters.......2002-02-09

This is the only book I know of that thoroughly explains every flow measurement technology. If you ever buy or specify flowmeters, it's a great reference to have.

Book Description

Although dynamical mechanical analysis or spectroscopy has left the domain of the rheologist and has become a prevalent tool in the analytical laboratory, it is still common to hear, "What is DMA, and what will it tell me?" or "I think I could use a DMA, but I cannot justify its cost." Previously, the novice in the field had to sort through texts on thermal analysis, rheology, and materials science just to find basic information - until now. This book provides the chemist, chemical engineer, or materials scientist with a starting point to understand the applications of dynamic mechanical analysis, its workings, and its advantages and limitations. Discussions include: · rheological concepts · stress-strain · data handling · experimental techniques and considerations · test methods, such as frequency sweeps and time-temperature curves · data analysis

Customer Reviews:

It may help yr experiment.......2006-07-03

The clear text will guide my experiment in composites.

The DMA technique may be helpful on several materials dynamic-mechanical characterization and this book introduces the why and how to.

Good investment to my thesis!

What I needed, when I needed it.......2001-09-27

I needed to get up to speed on DMA fast and I got what I needed. It didn't provide all the info I required for my specific application (submicron thin films) but it did provide a sound foundation for further investigation. This is truly what it claims to be, a practical introduction, many thanks to the author.

Finally! The Book That Spells Out The Answers To Questions........2000-02-09

I spent many hours researching for a Thermal Mechanical textbook that was packed full of "Get Down To The Point Answers". Let's face it, there are not many current Thermal Analysis textbooks for sale. The books I've seen are too scrambled with no understanding at the end. This book was VERY informative, and it answered my questions. Special Thanks to the author. Please write many more books with the same intentions in mind: "We would like to understand and learn from what we read"! Thank You!

Finally! The Book That Spells Out The Answers To My Question.......2000-02-09

I'm hoping for an expanded second edition...........1999-11-19

I ordered this book based on the other review here onamazon.com and was looking for a bit more. A fair bit of the contentis already covered by free application notes on the web and sales literature that the makers of DMA instrumentation pass out for free. If your looking for a solid treatment of the polymer physics of DMA testing, that's not this book; maybe it hasn't been written yet. If you just want to relate DMA testing to real world environments and effects, then there aren't enough good examples in the book or a method to make this book worth the price.

This would make an acceptable guide for a technician who was just introduced to a DMA - I was looking for more.
