Concentrates on the behaviors of various sorts of slurry flow. This third edition deals with the behavior of centrifugal pumps handling slurries, and with how pumps and pipelines interact as a system. It also includes material on both non-Newtonian flows and slurries of granular particles. It is useful for engineers and technologists. Num Pages: 432 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TCB; TGB.

Riassunto

1,1 Applications of Slurry Transport Vast tonnages are pumped every year in the form of solid-liquid mixtures, known as slurries. This industry employs centrifugal pumps that are generally smaller than those used in large dredges, but impeller diameters up to 1.
