ABSTRACT
Avoiding lengthy mathematical discussions, this reference specifically addresses issues affecting the day-to-day practices of those who design, operate, and purchase liquid pipelines in the oil, water, and process industries. Liquid Pipeline Hydraulics supplies an abundance of practical examples and applications for an in-depth understanding of liq

Unsteady Flow in Pipelines
Throughout the last 10 chapters we have addressed steady flow of liquids in pipelines. This means that the pipeline flow rates, velocities, and pressures at any point along the pipeline do not change with time. In other words, flow not time-dependent. In reality this may not be true. Many factors affect pipeline operation. Even though volumes may be taken out of storage tanks
