Flow of Industrial Fluids—Theory and Equations Raymond Mulley, P.E. This book provides context—both theoretical and practical—to understand the application of flow equipment and devices. Insight is the primary goal. Basic theory and equations of fluid flow are given in an understandable, but not overly simplified, manner. The chapters contain a logical, common sense description of the concepts and the equations of fluid flow. The appendices contain detailed derivations of the equations and detailed explanations of the subject matter of the corresponding chapters. Over 60 illustrations and 20 tables provide a graphical representation of data and ideas and give you speedy access to precise data. Technical caveats found throughout the book also encourage you to pay particular attention to specific topics and thus avoid costly errors or misunderstandings.

Fundamentals of Test Measurement Instrumentation Keith R. Cheatle This book discusses the specialized test instrumentation used in R&D laboratories, testing organizations, and industrial maintenance departments. It focuses on the practical application of test instrumentation and emphasizes the importance of creating a “measurement system” that involves components, installation, wiring, and calibration. The design, application and calibration of systems for measuring pressure, temperature, flow, force, displacement, and vibration will also be covered.
