Publisher's Synopsis
This coverage of unsteady flow in pipes and channels explains how to build mathematical models which can be used as a basis of computer programs designed to solve any problem. The text includes an examination of unsteady pump and turbine behaviour and provides methods of analyzing the problem. In the final chapter FORTRAN sub-routines are given which can be used as the basis of a computer program developed by the reader. These sub-routines are presented in FORTRAN IV, which is the most widely distributed language in the world.;The book will be of benefit to civil, mechanical and chemical engineers as well as students on specialist courses and bioengineers in research organizations.
