Pipe Flow provides the information required to design and analyze the piping systems needed to support a broad range of industrial operations, distribution systems, and power plants. Throughout the book, the authors demonstrate how to accurately predict and manage pressure loss while working with a variety of piping systems and piping components. The book draws together and reviews the growing body of experimental and theoretical research, including important loss coefficient data for a wide selection of piping components. Experimental test data and published formulas are examined, integrated and organized into broadly applicable equations. The results are also presented in straightforward tables and diagrams. Sample problems and their solution are provided throughout the book, demonstrating how core concepts are applied in practice. In addition, references and further reading sections enable the readers to explore all the topics in greater depth. With its clear explanations, Pipe Flow is recommended as a textbook for engineering students and as a reference for professional engineers who need to design, operate, and troubleshoot piping systems. The book employs the English gravitational system as well as the International System (or SI).

Canadian Plumbing Design and Installation begins with an overview of the plumbing trade in Canada, followed by in-depth coverage of job-site safety, and essential plumbing math. It provides comprehensive coverage of plumbing materials, the latest tools and equipment, and pipe joining and supporting methods. The chapter on plumbing fixtures and appliances provides the clearances required for barrier-free fixtures. Barrier-free specifications are based on the accessibility requirements of Section 3.8. of the National Building Code of Canada (NBC).Canadian Plumbing Design and Installation provides a solid foundation in the essential theory and the fundamental skills required to be a Red Seal-certified plumber. This textbook arose from the expressed need on the part of plumbing educators for a high-quality Canadian resource. A primary objective of the book is to provide learners with a working knowledge of the National Plumbing Code of Canada (NPC).The NPC is referenced throughout the textbook down to the subsection level. This is intended to familiarize learners with the organization of the code, as well as the rules governing plumbing system design, sizing, installation, and testing. It is recommended that learners have a copy of the NPC or their local plumbing code as a companion to the textbook.Several step-by-step practical examples are used to illustrate the impact of developed length, hydraulic load,and other factors on sizing drainage, vent, and water distribution piping. Each example refers to the appropriate NPC sizing tables. This gives learners an opportunity to access the tables in the code so they can follow along with the sizing procedures presented in the textbook.Canadian Plumbing Design and Installation was developed with the learner in mind. It assumes no prior knowledge of the subject matter. Concise introductions at the beginning of each chapter provide an overview of chapter content, and objectives focus learners on key outcomes.
